This is a patent on threading yarn through live stitches at the end of a mitten in order to close it off. https://www.google.com/patents/US1941508?dq=%22hand+knitting%22+method&hl=en&sa=X&ei=EK-mUv3wPML8oASE4oCQCQ&ved=0CEwQ6AEwBDgo … What.
@adamsteinbaugh They were super upset about it. Some of the designs were free and on the web, others weren't.

@adamsteinbaugh In all cases, the designer was attributed, there were linkbacks, etc. -
@adamsteinbaugh But no permission was acquired. And yes, a translation is a derivative work but (imo) a pattern has very limited copyright. -
@adamsteinbaugh Also the translations were *linked to*-- PDFs hosted elsewhere. -
@adamsteinbaugh Entire blog was taken down. WTF. -
@sarahjeong taken down and not relaunched? And what do you mean by limited copyright? -
@adamsteinbaugh many of the elements are functional. I can't access the translations, but not sure they copied non-functional elemtents -
@sarahjeong ah, I see, and agree. So out goes the baby with the bathwater to protect yarn from Russians. USA USA USA -
@adamsteinbaugh Is that a thing, btw? Taking down an *entire* blog because of outgoing infringing links? - 6 réponses de plus
