19 years ago

Hi everybody!

was going through all my cross-stitch books and thought why not share them.... I have scanned all the charts and put them into zip files, so just let me know which ones that you want, If you would like to share your patterns of dachshunds, EMS bears at work, any kind of mermaids, dolphins, please send them to me.. Here's what I have:

(by Leisure Arts) "Fantasy Ride" by Barbara Baatz

"Footsteps In The Sand" by Anne Van Wagner Young

"Mouse In The House" Designs by Cari

and last, but not least I have (also by Leisure Arts) "The Official Looney Tunes Cross Stitch Book"

I hate to be a whistle blower, but what you are doing is illegal. It is in direct violation of copyright laws.
You may not know this, but it is still wrong.

Stitching, I am just curious. Is it wrong to make a copy for your own use? I often copy a chart so that I can mark it up (you know, rows I've already done, etc.), because I don't want to mark up my original. Karen's not offering to share copies, but the originals, which she most likely paid for.

Depending on how it's set up, it would be nice to link to a trading member's profile page, or better yet, to their current R&R forum thread. I've noticed that a lot of newer members sometimes don't post R&R's correctly, and I think it's partly b/c of trouble finding an already started thread. If there were a search function for entering the GW user name for whom you are trading with, that could help streamline things, too.

I stay logged in even after I click the box. I keep coming back to the log-in page, as if I never entered my info, when I use my usual web browser, Firefox. So I switch to Internet Explorer, which runs slower on my machine, but at least I can post this way. It's a pain. I'm on $10/month dial-up in the boondocks. Can't get a faster connection, unless I go with $60/month wireless. A newer computer would help. I really only need the internet for Google searches and e-mail and a few online communties. I'd rather be patient than spend a lot more money. I hope my login problem goes away soon. Then I'll be happy again. I'm almost ready to blow town. I have my hand sewing project prepped. For reading, I have a book about encouraging beneficial insects in the garden with native plants. Can't wait to start reading that one. Time to pack. Gonna bring my swim suit and my hiking boots. I'll say "hi" after I get back! MaryLiz

Wow, I am deeply touched by your kind words of support. I am more of a lurker than a poster but have come to know that you are all one very special group of people. I also know that so many of you have been through similar heart breaks, and my heart goes out to all of you. Life can be so tough at times, but we do manage to pull through with a "little help from our friends". :-) OJ: We do have an amazing support group, it actually blows me away on how much we are being cared for. Thanks for your concern. Had more to say but the phone keeps ringing and I've lost my train of thought. Will be back later to fill in the blanks. Today is a better day, thanks to all you KT'ers. You truly ROCK! BJ

Stitching, I am curious myself, why is it any of your business who I share my PAID for charts or books with? I am not asking any money for these charts and I have allready completed the designs in the (ONCE AGAIN) PAID for books and charts, I was just being nice and was wanting to know if anyone would like for me to send them MY copies, are you making any money yourself for turning any copyright violators?? just curious.

As long as you own the originals, you can have the copies. Once you sell or trade or give away the originals you are to destroy any copies.

And no, I make no money turning in copyright violators.

But please feel free to email this nice laday about copyrights: jamiesjunk@comcast.net

Thank you for to those that emailed me asking about this.

It is illegal to give away copies of patterns. It is illegal to have copies in your possession without having the original in your possession as well.

Yes what is being offered is illegal. Please see www.copyright.gov for more details. The FAQ section is wonderful for most questions, and as already mentioned I'll help out in any way I can to answer copyright questions.

Copyright infringement costs everyone money and causes designers to go out of business. Those who think it is no big deal may change their mind when they are on the other end of a lawsuit with very big fines. More and more companies are taking it seriously. EMS, Pat Carson of Gloria and Pat, myself and my company White Willow Stitching, Disney, Warner Brothers and a few other pop into my head.

A case will soon be before the courts for over 100,000.00 Is sharing copies really worth losing everything?

Is designers quitting the business because of all the illegal activity being too much of a hassle worth illegally sharing?

You can give away or sell any original, but copies are illegal without owning the original.

Found this under Frequently Asked Questions about Copyright

What is copyright infringement?
As a general matter, copyright infringement occurs when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, performed, publicly displayed, or made into a derivative work without the permission of the copyright owner.

Do you have Daffy Duck and Leg Horn Fog Horn (the big nerdy rooster) in cross-stitch patterns. I would like to have them as long as it is legal. Thanks.
