I was beginning to think I was ...Thank you Sherry. I was beginning to think I was the only copyright<br />aware person on Facebook or elsewhere. No designer or professional wants his work stolen,<br />copied, or used for another's profit. That is what copyright is for: protection of ownership of original/artistic property. Don't be perplexed. You are right on target.Those who own the rights must protect them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12637461471095449042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435199508222609089.post-10625054992872877932011-10-28T07:24:16.597-07:002011-10-28T07:24:16.597-07:00Uggh - the "C" word!

I was an archivist in my former life and this always popped up with UNpublished letters, manuscripts, photos, etc. In planning a conference program we (archivists) found that there were attorneys specializing in copyright issues. What I remember is that none of us wanted to deal with the "C" word.krisgrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840128414499274110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435199508222609089.post-78323395285914903082011-10-28T05:32:21.075-07:002011-10-28T05:32:21.075-07:00I am glad you brought this up Sherry. I have long ...I am glad you brought this up Sherry. I have long wondered about copyright... A lot of techniques are, and have been through the ages, common knowledge. Just because one person has written about it somewhere, that does not necessarily mean they have the world wide copyright? Take e.g. constructing a six sided square die out of material. These blocks are made for children the world over. So who has the copyright to a pattern to something like this? Common sense in sewing I would think... it's not rocket science after all how to put this together.. I have long wondered how this works and would welcome an article about what the (international?) laws are regarding patterns, techniques, and reproduction of heritage pieces are.Rafael's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046052475100767641noreply@blogger.com
