Spiders, I hopw that Christine Springett won't sue me over copyright if I quote out of her book - Snakes Galore but her caveat is as follows:
"You are welcome to photocoy these patterns to make your pricking and to sell the snakes you make as fund-raiser for charity but I would ask you to respect my copyright by not passing on these photocopies to other lacemakers, ... we would welcome the opportunity to send your friends or students their own personal copy!" I think this is one of the nicest ways of saying - don't STEAL. Here's a thought ... in Judaism there are a set of laws call Lashon Hara - which basically cover 'bad mouthing' people. Why is this such an issue - because if you repeat bad press about someone or say something nasty you steal their reputation. I believe that stealing someone's thoughts is just as bad - but when you photocopy a pattern you have done just that. I'm off to play with my chutney now Liz In a message dated 28/08/2003 20:08:41 GMT Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > I have no objection to my patterns being shared - but the courtesy of > being asked is a small price to pay, maybe.
