I'm almost positive this whole thread will be deleted. That site is a huge copyright violation. I believe people have linked to it before here & the mods always delete the messages.

Actually, this time, I think I'm going to leave the message, although I've deleted the link to the site. Dee, I know you were just anxious to share what seemed, on the surface, to be a good site sharing lots of patterns. So don't feel bad about wanting to share with the rest of us.

 

However, many of the books and leaflets that site has scanned in and posted still have valid copyrights. Posting these imags without the permission of the copyright holder is a copyright violation. (If such written permission exists, it should be stated as such on the website.) Our forum guidelines state that we have a "no copyright violation" policy, which means that we cannot allow links to sites that we know are violating copyrights.

 

This is a good learning opportunity for some of our newer members who may not have thought about copyright issues much before. So please don't post links to sites that have scanned images from books or leaflets with valid copyrights and that are not in the public domain.
