You are incredibly generous with your creativity and I hope the offender does the correct thing and remove their posts.<br />Ignorance is not an excuse.<br />Unfortunately, I think it's a sign of our times. I live in orchard country and was leaving the fruit stand with my purchase when a car pulled over on the side of the road. The Mom, Dad and all the kids got out and started picking apples. I yelled across the road - "I hope you've paid for those." It didn't even embarrass them.<br />You have a legion of fans who love and support you.

It is not always easy to do. Articles on the subject can sometimes be confusing and muddled. In my effort to educate myself I have read conflicting articles on the subject and have had to chose which one I agree with.

I've learned so much about quilting from Bonnie through her blog and youtube videos, etc. The most important gifts I've received are her words of restraint and wisdom like those contained in the post above. After reading this post, I decided to go scrub the bathrooms and the kitchen floor in order to vent my frustrations on Bonnie's situation.<br />This morning I looked for the Grand Illusion videois on Youtube and found that they have been made "Private". I don't think that solves the problem. I believe that the videos need to be completely removed from Youtube forever. When a video is uploaded to Youtube, it is by default made Public. The author can then choose to make a video Private or Unlisted or Delete it. Youtube can also takedown or Delete a video for copyright infringement. The author of the Grand Illusion Videos has simply changed the privacy setting to Private and she can still send/share the link(s) to her videos to anyone she chooses. I think that she should be "encouraged" to completely remove her videos from Youtube or any other video platform.

Those 2 ladies did not seem to me to be trying to hurt Bonnie, quite the opposite, so why not just enlighten them? I bet they are horrified of their blunder. Quilters should be examples of kindness and love, not hate, and I don't think Bonnie wants meanness unleashed in her name, just a problem discussed in an adult manner and taken care of.Sharon Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482712556531590370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-33888376609103172152015-02-03T02:28:23.334-05:002015-02-03T02:28:23.334-05:00I think you wrote a very good post explaining why ...I think you wrote a very good post explaining why people should not post their own tutorials (video or otherwise)of your patterns.

Our challenge is what to do about the hurt and damage that has been done to us. <br />Be strong. You haven't done anything wrong. Look at your options. Make a decision and follow through...

When I approached her I got a very indignant, extremely nasty reply. I did not have the resources to fight her eventhough I had the proof it was my design. With that experience I totally gave up publishing my designs. My health just won't take the stress. So I happily follow your mysteries and patterns and leave the publishing up to you younger gals. I will mention however, that any quilt block that is in 'public domain' has no copyright attached to it and any quilter is free to do with it what she/he wants. Good example is the basic log cabin block, nine patch, four patch etc. When they are put into a quilt in a unique setting they are then moving to copyrighted areas. The blocks alone are not protected. This is what I found out when I was going through the issue of stolen designs.<br /><br />Good luck with your problems. Looking forward to quilt cam this week.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13387931609167711176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-40979315484502016712015-02-02T23:38:07.421-05:002015-02-02T23:38:07.421-05:00'Good' rant.

This is a fact of life. I don't think you can solve this fast enough with education in a newsletter. [I'm not young and I often just skim them and look at the photos.] <br /><br />You need a service looking for copyright violations. [Or do it yourself every week.] One that will also get the postings removed. I assume other prolific producers of digital art have this. It's just necessary. Forget appealing to people's ethics. That's 20th century stuff. You need a different method because it's a different time. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785653105884555106noreply@blogger.com
