I Have a Blog Problem
I have someone contacting me through my blog asking for the pattern for a doll I crocheted (L'il Buster). I have informed her where she can purchase the pattern (from Kathleen Early- easily found on the web) and kindly declined to provide her with a copy. Her e-mails come through in Spanish and she says she has the pattern but it's blurry. I asked her if she has a photocopy of the pattern and if so, that isn't permissible. I also told her I will not provide her with another photocopy.
I keep getting comments from her and I've had to mark her latest as spam, in order to stop the conversation in its tracks.
I will not - ever - provide anyone with a copy of a pattern used to make any of the items I show on my blog. I purchased the pattern and others can do the same. I respect the copyrights of others.
If you see something on my blog that you like - thank you for your kind comments. But please don't ask me to provide you with the pattern. I cannot and will not do so.
Thank you!

I have had the same problem before! I will provide with a link that they can buy or find the pattern to but will never send someone a pattern via email or else-where!! That's just not right! I hope this problems solves itself soon for you!
ReplyDeleteI respect your choice to protect the intellectual rights of others. Maybe it would be helpful to link to patterns when you post your own projects. Just an idea. I'm happy I can now look for the doll pattern but before this I'd thought they were your original works.
