I have been reading a lot today about copy right. I am shocked how easy it is to infringe it and even more shocked at one poor women's 5000 dollar fine. Any art form.like crochet or knitting is going to suffer from.infringement and although some maybe deliberate in an attempt to profit from.other people's work I am sure the majority of offenders are just eager to share a pattern or design they loved.
I guess the other problem is is there anything genuinely new to create. A friend of mine has designed a number of patterns and admits after she finished the project She found something similar online.
This seems common I read on another blog one lady was slated as her pattern resembled a pattern that was published fifty years ago even after she apologised and explained she didn't know and couldn't know every design ever published the torrid of abuse continued.
Not sure where I am.going with this post other than to say if I ever forgot to give credit to a person for their designs I am.truely sorry. I do respect the effort and work that goes into designing or tutorials but I think as a creative community we need to be a bit kinder. The I internet made connecting with crafters so easy but also led to arguing and theft so I guess my message for today is share the love.
