"I've done copyright research (loads of it) and even though the patterns are sold in a book (or a pamplet..same difference) you can't break them up and sell them individually as copies."
Can you tell me just where you found your information (government section please, not some user website making statements, most vary in interpertations). I want to read this as in all the research I have done there has not been one mention, that I can find, that says you cannot break up the sections of a book for resale. I want to see the actual information so that I can varify the correctness of this. I am always having people with questions and do not want to pass on anything that I can not point them to in law. That just causes to much "he said, she said" and not enough the government says.
Thanks for your help. To this point is has been my understanding that the patterns could not be copied for resale but that the actual pattern as owned by you (the physical item not copyright, you don't own that copyright) could be put up for sale. Disposal of the book in whatever form is your right but only as long as you do not make or keep copies for yourself or others. So I want to see this section of law that say you cannot seperate the patterns from the work for resale.
