Age of Technology : buy a pattern: steal a pattern

Buy a pattern?  Steal a pattern.  In this world of technology I spent 6 months...Days  anxiously waiting for responses on "Sardine" .   I became so interested,  I requested a librarian to go through 7 boxes and diaries, receipts and journals in storage holdings in New York.  Making a quilt for personal use is allowed but hanging it at a quilt show or shop becomes public performance.  In other words if you have not been given special permission don't hang it.  I have legal permission for Sardine.  Yes legal.  Buy a pattern make the quilt.....leave it at home or give it away.  One should not be making money on someone else's art work.  In this age of technology it's easy to find the artist, through publication, social media, email etc. etc.  Give credit to the pattern maker w/ permission granted.  But again...that's based on moral principle and integrity.  It only takes time.
