A craft is under threat

I am taking a break from my doodle pad to ask for some help from you who also love forums, free forums. There is a crisis happening in alt.binaries.crafts.pictures where we swap machine embroidery files freely. Our very quiet nexus of the Internet has been invaded by a lady calling from snipped-for-privacy@sadiasews.com with abuse and threats of having people taken to the law. I doodle in the pictures group too, it is very helpful in getting designs to try out if you want to take the time to download any design you ask for. I have bought designs from this Sadia and felt cheated but not concerned, now she turns up and start screaming about going to the poor house because the group posts embroidery designs..not hers! So what is her biz!! The consensus is overwhelming, no one wants her designs! So Sadia comes to cause trouble in our group. I am asking crafters everywhere to place a ban on any links to sadiasews.com or at the very least email her snipped-for-privacy@sadiasews.com and give an opinion. It is hard enough to get started in quilt and embroider without scammers having a piece of our loaded Amex card ready to go! The pictures group helps us all with getting started and then helps by trying out stuff and telling if it is any good or no. So please help our group to help your new starters. Subscribe to alt.binaries.crafts.pictures, read the FAQ posted and then tell Sadia where to go! Hugs to all crafters :-) polly

She`s quite within her rights - if people copy or share her designs without permission they are breaking the law!

There are plenty of web sites where you can get free patterns legally to try out, without exposing you to legal issues of copyright theft.

I went over, and peeked. Wasted a whole 20 minutes, I did!! Between that crowd and alt.support. diabetes and the alt. supp. low.carb group, we all look like a bunch of "near" angels!!

Gillian Off for a girls day out!

Yup. Anything by Terry Pratchett is worth reading, but in particular the Discworld series.
