A blog for my crochet hobby, drawing inspiration from friends, crochet buddies, and designers from around the world!
See my latest crochet projects and designs, search for patterns and resource links, and get inspired to make your own one-of-a-kind creations.
Mimi I agree that is rotten. And it's not just a pdf file that's been stolen, these are printed publications people have figured out how to scan and email or any way they can to pirate them. It's wrong.
I didn't realize there were groups that did this, either. I wonder if that would explain why when I started to sell some of my patterns, I sold a couple and then all of a sudden, NONE. It was as if the whole crochet world was suddenly uninterested. So I took my patterns down.
So many interesting updates on your blog.I read and think.With internet you can do many things and it goes very fast.Much kindness but also much rotten/crazy things.I'm happy for your new updates and sorry for the problems with the copytright.It's very common I think to send copies of patterns to friends and it's a problem that the creater does not get any income of that.

ReplyDeleteThe past two days, I have been reading several posts about this and am assuming you know some of the people who have had this done to them recently.
ReplyDeleteI naively didn't realize there were actual "groups" online that did this.

ReplyDeleteI wonder how these folks can sleep at night knowing what they're doing is so wrong.
