There's validity to both sides and ultimately the we all bear the responsibility of treating others as we'd like to be treated. Great research, Michele - thank you for our continuing education!

Along with that, a willingness to acknowledge the source of inspiration or technique. From the blogs that I read, most people do.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I know my art cannot be duplicated exactly as I've made it. If someone wants to copy it, at least they may end up with something pretty good. If someone can take my basic idea and truly make it their own, then I'm pleased and proud to be an inspiration. If my art showed up on black market bags or shirts on the streets of New York, I'd want one ... they'd have good designs. Yes, I know, that last sentence is flippant and in reality I'd mostly likely feel pissed off. It all boils down to the premise that I make art for myself, but if the joy and the pieces couldn't be shared the experience would be diminished ... akin to hiding my candle under a basket.Nellie's Needleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468773469685787840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-29846087215483851792007-10-20T12:20:00.000-07:002007-10-20T12:20:00.000-07:00It is way too confusing for the general public to ...It is way too confusing for the general public to deal with. It makes you want to put your quilts under lock and key and guard them with your life.<BR/><BR/>The end result of all this is going to be fear. And that means designer's who so freely give of their designs will stop doing that........how very sad for all of us.Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110330858194248667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-38804751257243719282007-10-20T10:50:00.000-07:002007-10-20T10:50:00.000-07:00good information.

I do believe, however, some pattern designers are taking it too far - confusing copywrite with terms of use.Kim Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16412917146634111911noreply@blogger.com
