Copyright Violation has been a hot topic in our pattern group, whether we're talking about images and people stealing photos, or making clothes out of licensed fabric, or embroidery designs, every one's got something to say. A great site for future reference is Tabber's Temptations; bookmark it if you think you ever might need info about sewing and copyright issues. You'll find lots of great info there, and I promise you will discover that a lot of the things you think are true about copyright restrictions and sewing are, in fact, not true at all!!!
Since this is such a huge topic, we're going to have to tackle it in baby steps, so today we invited Tina Lueders to drop by the blog with some of her expert advice about embroidery, a service many of our customers provide, and how they might be effected by copyright laws. Thanks, Tina!
Copyright - Mickey Is Making Me Money!!!
Well, not me personally, but he's helping many vendors on Etsy, Facebook, Ebay and other commerce sites. And probably the majority of the vendors are breaking the law, some by ignorance of the copyright laws and some by just ignoring the copyright laws.
Copyright - always a heated discussion. What can I sell as a small business or boutique owner. Hey I'm just trying to make a few bucks to help the family out in this downward economy. Right? Wrong!!!!
