This discussion also goes on in the needlework circles regarding charts. Most of them state on the chart that *one* working copy can be made for yourself.
As you might guess, it gets heated over there. Is selling the charts at a yard sale wrong? Giving them to a friend? Obviously, making copies to give to a class is a no-no...but making copies for your cousin?
And then there's E-bay, which has periodic problems with people scanning charts in, making a few minor changes (removing a border say) and reselling them as their own design, persumably because they think no one will noice.
I once got a free chart from Kustom Krafts for pointing one of these folk out to them.
