Copyright Issues and Limitations
I find free and paid patterns online. In the copyright, the designers usually say it's illegal to sell items made from the pattern. How is this legal??? None of the professional pattern makers, like Simplicity, limit what people can do with their creations.
I can understand copyright protection on a pattern, but not on the work that other people create from the pattern. That's like a marketer selling a sales letter book with a template inside. But then he says you can't use the template if you're going to write sales letters for money.
The funny thing is that many of these "original" patterns found online use common stitches and designs. You can find them in dozens of books. The designers think they've created something original when they haven't.
