I, too, joined and have been banned (a badge we can be proud to wear!) for making comments about copyright and explaining to them that 'sharing' is really theft. There are two of Alan's charity patterns there that are meant to support a bullying charity, and the street children of Madagascar, so they don't have any morals. The main uploaders to look out for are alekos65, sunbeamyork and CrochetMama and the knitting moderator is jazzi. We should all continue to harass them as one day it'll get stopped.<br />Malcolm Bird<br />www.alandart.co.ukMalcolm Birdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817148833309325011.post-43486578942976827642013-08-15T23:29:01.136-04:002013-08-15T23:29:01.136-04:00Several of my patterns are on the site also.

They have site moderators and if any comment uses the words illegal or copyright or a few other choice words, the moderator will remove the comment. If you do it more than once, they will ban you - but it's only the email address you signed up with that is banned. you can still create an account with another email address.

I recognized the pattern which was older, and changed a tiny bit. I followed through and let the major designer know, the store and finally talked to the teacher and told her the pattern was still being sold in a book. One should always credit the designer.
