copyright for crafters
question 10: Well, I design things and give my designs away for free. Why should other designers complain about the free publicity they get when people give their friends copies of patterns?
It’s really nice that you made the decision to share your patterns for free. But that’s your choice to make. It is the copyright owner’s right to choose whether she will allow her designs to be freely copied, or whether she wants to have tighter control over how they are distributed.
The fact that you share your own work for free is no justification for taking away a fellow designer’s legal right to control how copies are made of her patterns.
