Coming late into this discussion, I have found myself wondering about how
commercial companies (say Waverly) go about reproducing fabrics from the
historical perspective (say Winterthur or Williamsburg). Permission to copy??
Permission to sell? Historical houses seem to go the reproduction method...when
they can afford it...all the time.? What makes the diff when the reproduced
fabric is used for costume purposes?
Also took time to check again the copywright statements on some of my patterns
that include the Major 3, Fire and Smoke, Five Rivers, and a host of other
designers who are working all the time to give us good renderings of patterns
to inspire Historical clothing.? All are agreed in opening statements that the
pattern is for personal/individual sewing and not to be used for commercial
enterprise
.
How do these two issues get reconciled when the demand for the product exceeds
the implied legal issues?

Subject: Re: [h-cost] Brocade and Fair UseI think in order to make your
question more closely resemble the current is
sue, you need to add the words "700 years after your death."
To the list in general and not specifically Ann (too lazy to do a seperate
email):
I left this list for?a few?years and have just recently returned. I wit
nessed these conversations way too many times. I see little has changed. Ca
n't we just all admit that there are certain issues which are triggers for
some of us and just leave it at that without having to rehash them ad nause
um? There really is no need to jump into the list with swords swinging just
because someone mentioned something that happens to be close to your own p
ersonal soapbox.?

Okay, let's try this one more time.? Suppose someone bought a yard of?
your
custom-produced brocade, and using technology (that admittedly probably?
doesn't exist yet) scanned it and starting producing their own brocade, in
?
exactly the same pattern, and selling it.? Would you regard that as? "f
air
use"?
