Travis Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wood-n-things Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 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.

Messman Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Travis, I have not seen that pattern any place. I understand what you are saying, that is for sure and will keep my eyes open for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wood-n-things Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Glad you got it worked out. Too bad you had to go through it to begin with. I understood the frustration, just didn't see the pattern when I peeked so he must have already complied... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I might have overreacted a tish. I usually able to keep things in perspective, but this one just got to me. 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.

shadylady0447 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Sorry this happened Travis. I have not seen the pattern either but if I do I'll let you know. I understand your frustration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
