Foxfold Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 I've just found this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156-CLASSIC-SCROLL-SAW-BOOKS-ON-DISK-SCROLL-SAW-PATTERNS-WOODWORK-CARPENTRY/312436545530?hash=item48beab57fa:g:25EAAOSwyXhZ05iQ:rk:9:pf:0 What do you think ? Worth trying ? OCtoolguy and Falcon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sycamore67 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 I think it is a violation of copyright. I looked up a couple of books on Amazon and you can still buy them. OCtoolguy, Scruffydog and RabidAlien 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtP Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 I wonder if this guy has permission to resell or redistribute these books and patterns. Somehow I doubt it. Even if it is a great deal I wouldn't give him a cent. OCtoolguy, Scruffydog and RabidAlien 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC Scroller Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 The give away, well in my mind, that is a illegal bootleg copy is this statement in the description.

Sycamore67 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 One is always tempted by such ads. Such a great deal but I think of it as theft of intellectual property. Rolf and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Scroller Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 And he is only charging $14 and change (USD) and that includes shipping. Most of those books cost more then $14. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxfold Posted February 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Apparently if I'm not the person to hold the copyright I can do nothing. I would have to contact whoever wrote the books and tell them OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Most of the scroll saw books are published by Fox Chapel here in the U.S. it is illegal what he is trying to sell! OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfold Posted February 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Have emailed Fox Chapel and given them the link. Lets see if the big dogs bite I'd love to see this little reprobate get his come uppance.

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 With all that said and I agree how the heck did he do this??? Some of those books are from the beginning of scrolling days. There are no CD's out of each and every book listed. Something is fishy to begin with and to charge that small amount. Lets say there was a way of doing this, imagine the time and money spent to do this. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 It's sad to see ads like this. I have several of those books and they are worth the read and patterns. But this is completely illegal and just totally not right. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredfret Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 I have scanned a couple books to my computer. But would never attempt to sell them. That is theft plain and simple. RabidAlien and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Scroller Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 He's just a thief hiding behind ebay shows they don't care what's sold on there site. Don't have anything against free stuff being shared but now selling it. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is theft plain and simple. Once you buy the book, you own the rights to that book for your own personal use. Scanning/copying is not a problem, as long as you don't go and sell those scans/copies for your own profit. There may be a blurb in a book regarding cutting some of the patterns and then selling the finished projects, but that would be in the book itself.
