Barbara Breiter published my "Leaves of Grass" sock pattern that was a 1997 KnitList Christmas gift but clearly stated that it was for KnitListers only and any other publication of the pattern needed my permission. I had to write Barbara and tell her that she had to take the pattern down. She did. If she had asked permission, I would have said yes. She didn't ask.<BR/><BR/>Jenna, as always, is on top of these issues. Thanks for writing about this.

However, it is disheartening how many people justify theft, and not just online. I have a friend who posted free patterns that were being sold in a shop for cash, with the copyright and use notices not even deleted. When contacted the offending party still claimed it was OK, but supposedly stopped.

Shockingly, I did not volunteer to rewrite the pattern making all those changes to it. 'Cuz I'm such a bee-atch, I guess. ;)Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651035210994960810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-1149517281993014382006-06-05T10:21:00.000-04:002006-06-05T10:21:00.000-04:00Unbelievable what some people have the brass balls...Unbelievable what some people have the brass balls to do. Stealing is stealing whether it's your car or your knitting pattern. Thanks for the heads up on this, it's something to watch for when I check out knitting books for sale on e-bay.<BR/>I have two other issues with the use of free patterns. There are the people who whine that the free pattern should be clearer, be in 16 sizes etc. What do you want the designer to do for nothing? And the people who search the net for free patterns, then find a pattern from a designer they like, and are furious that they have to pay for this one. <BR/>Thanks for a great post.<BR/>Barb B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-1149516811331059952006-06-05T10:13:00.000-04:002006-06-05T10:13:00.000-04:00Hopefully someone has reported this guy!
