I guess I didn't realize that people would call it "their" design. Let me ask you something though, does this mean that a person can not sell the completed design, or does it mean that they just have to acknowledge you as the "designer". The reason why I'm asking is that I would love to make some to sell, only because I am a candlemaker--to add a little extra with my wares. However, I do not want to do anything that would ever hurt someone or tarnish my rep. Note: I've never made the first one, and after I've made one, I may decide it's too much work to sell or give away, ha ha. And, by the way, you are a wonderful designer.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00554608232826488962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3000143008943449761.post-91254062005446978052010-01-07T22:26:06.378-05:002010-01-07T22:26:06.378-05:00I'm so sorry you had this problem.

It is a shame someone so generous as you,sharing so much info with us and sharing your designs, has to be takin advantage of. At least you have more info about protecting yourself now. I'm glad you stood up for yourself.

I was raised if if isn't yours don't touch it. Same applies to your designs. <br />I got an old wool fireman's coat from a friend of mine. It is the greatest shade of blue. I felted it but it didn't change much. but the fabric is wonderful. It is so thick and rich looking. Can't wait to start a project with it. <br />RhondaRhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795081104677489453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3000143008943449761.post-74598977813832523812010-01-07T18:10:06.517-05:002010-01-07T18:10:06.517-05:00My sister was writing music a long time ago someon...My sister was writing music a long time ago someone told her to mail ( maybe even ceritfied?) herself a copy of what ever she had done then when she received it never open it unless it came to proving that she had been the original writer the postmark was proof of the date for her, do not know if this still holds up.whiteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697916724755191082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3000143008943449761.post-69788216398808528952010-01-07T13:27:24.882-05:002010-01-07T13:27:24.882-05:00Thanks for the clarification, very helpful.
Recen...Thanks for the clarification, very helpful.<br /><br />Recently we had some problems with another business using our business name, they simply added an s to the end of it.<br />Thankfully they are no longer a franchise in our area, because there was nothing we could have done about it-- theirs was copyrighted nationally--ours only in the state of PA.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922917828145704736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3000143008943449761.post-60193851687316157762010-01-07T11:27:31.046-05:002010-01-07T11:27:31.046-05:00That is so interesting...I love learning new stuff...That is so interesting...I love learning new stuff.
