If you're interested, I have this bookmarked concerning Amy Butler: Trademark and Copyright Abuser's Hall of Shame
If you have an Amy Butler pattern and you want to use it to make something to sell on Etsy or at a craft fair you CAN without any guilt. She uses the "Terms" on her patterns unfairly and to make more money herself (if you can't buy the item already made from a seller, you'd be more likely to buy her pattern for yourself).
 Have we gone completely off-topic? LOL!  |
LOL, perhaps! But I think it just shows why copyright is so confusing. Even the copyright holders don't even always know and/or follow the rules.
