If someone is on selling a quilt pattern that they have used are they breaking copyright?
For your information, it's not me, just people in general. If you can put me onto a site that would clarify this l would be very grateful.

Winding Ways
- All you need to know.....
These 2 pages are full of information you might find helpful while you're taking part in the Winding Ways Shop Hop this year. It includes each shop's details and information for you if you are doing one shop or all five. - While you are here....
If you are visiting Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop during Winding Ways you might like to set aside some time to visit other local shops. Monbulk has a lovely little shopping strip. I have listed some shops you might enjoy. - Winding Ways name tags.....
This is just a bit of fun. I see so many familiar faces and hate it when l don't know people's names. So decided l'd give the Winding Ways name tag a go. Feel free to download the pattern and whip one up. If you wear it to Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop you'll receive a small gift from me. - Winding Ways, First Prize 2013.....
How to win first prize..... Collect your Wild Goose Chase sheet at the first shop you visit. Each shop has 3 questions on the Wild Goose Chase sheet. You will need to make a $10.00 purchase at each shop and answer all 3 questions correctly to go into the draw for first prize. If you can't find the answers to the questions just ask. Have your questions stamped by the shop once you've made your purchase. Once you've visited all 5 shops and answered the questions leave your completed sheet with the last shop you visit.

It's a busy month, catch me at one of the shows or stitching days l'll be visiting.

So do you mean if I had a stack of patterns I had used once, and needed to make room so I listed them on ebay....you want to know if I am breaching the copyright of the person who produced the pattern??
Posted by: Lynda Bosworth | January 23, 2013 at 10:54 PM
Oh good question Karen, I have wondered about that myself.because what do you do with patterns, especially blocks of the month, when you are finished with them. If you give them to the op shop they are going to sell them anyway. And you would hardly just throw them away!!

As long as you are not keeping a copy (as tht is clearly a breach) then I think it would be fine ?

Not sure if these sites help or confuse. I got confused!

I read Glenys links and my understanding is only if you copied them and on sold the copies. Selling the original especially if it is a couple of years old does not breach copyright. Well I hope this is right cause I've run out of room for new patterns. Lol
Posted by: Michele | January 24, 2013 at 08:36 AM
If you sell a pattern and have not made copies then you are doing no less than a store who sells the pattern. The breach would come if you made copies and sold the pattern for profit. Sometimes I sell my patterns after I have used them or trade them for new to me patterns.

Several years ago I do know that quite a few designers stated on their patterns that the pattern could not be resold. I thought this covered the copyright and the designer as this is their livelihood.

There is a website which explains exactly what you are asking. Go to www.craftsandcopyrights.com/faq.html
There is even the question, Can I sell a pattern thta I purchased. This should help you.
