Please Don't Steal My Work


Travis

Recommended Posts

I was browsing LumberJocks this morning when I came across this project:

 

http://lumberjocks.com/projects/24417

 

This was lifted from an original cutting I did in January 2009. I never distributed the pattern because it was based on a movie poster.

I sent him an email asking him where he got the pattern and to remove it from Lumberjocks. Has anybody else seen this pattern floating around? If so, please let me know. This is not a legit pattern.

 

I'm a little irritated (which is a huge understatement) that folks find the need to steal pattern from others. I feel like I'm extremely generous about sharing my patterns and pattern-making knowledge. I give away 99% of my patterns. If there's one or two that isn't available for various reasons, please let me keep it for myself and don't steal my work. :curse:

I love Mr Bean. I'm confused though isn't that posting a picture and not a pattern? I agree it is stupid with all the free patterns and the wealth of knowledge freely shared to steal one from someone else. This looks like a photo to me though...

 

I must not be clicking on something...

I emailed him and asked him to remove the cutting. It looks like he agreed as there is nothing more than a picture of Mr Bean from a movie poster. I wish he would have responded to my email, though. Someone basically took my cutting and lifted a pattern from it. The pattern was still my work and it was taken without permission. This is the reason I'm a bit irritated.

I might have overreacted a tish. I usually able to keep things in perspective, but this one just got to me. :oops: Eh, its over and behind me now. But if anybody sees that pattern floating around, please let me know. That pattern should not be available since it is created from a copyrighted photo.
