What if I borrowed the pattern from a friend or a library? Can I still make a working copy?

If you are making your working copy for the same purpose as in this question, then this is probably a fair dealing as well.

This is not the same as if your my friend lent you the pattern so that you could make a \”working copy\” and return it right away, then lent the pattern out to another friend, who did the same thing, and then lent it to a third friend, and so on… in that case, the end result is several copies among this circle of friends. Those aren\’t really \”working copies\” anymore, are they?
