Someone selling others patterns- Do they belong to any Cville members??

I found this Etsy site today while looking at different crochet there. Anyhow I cam across this one in particular. She has a ton of PDF patterns for sale. A lot of them look familar to me, but I can't seem to place them.

This pattern in particular is avaliable for free.

Here it is listed for free on the internet.

She is even using the same picture from the website. She just cut part of it out.
Anyhow, I thought maybe some others would recognize some of the patterns. And if there are any that may belong to some of our members here.

This is a link to her shop/

Wow, that is nice, just plain out right trying to sell a free pattern found on the web, takes some nerve!

A lot of them look like pages from a book/magazine.

I can't view this one at work, is it the same as the one she is selling?

The person has another shop on iOffer too http://www.ioffer.com/selling/karebare?cat_id=405000
The Garfied patterns are from a book. Here is a link to a sale at an ebay store, not english...

I know for a fact that the Christmas carolers is out of a leaftlet. I own it. Here is one like it for sale on ebay. The Friendly witch pattern is out of a booklet too. I'm at work so I can't tell you which one...but I own that too. I would think that this would be a copyright infringement since she is selling multiple copies of a pattern...not the original.

Laurie the Lion is also from a booklet that I bought years ago when I first learned to crochet. I remember that one specifically because it was the first stuffed animal I had ever made.

From that same booklet:

Mark the Mouse
Frederick the Frog
Oliver the Owl
Lucky the Lamb
Billy the Bear

Cuddle Baby Bunny (in her sold listing) is also from a leaflet that includes the bunny pattern and an afghan pattern. Bought that one awhile ago too.

The horse and unicorn pattern is my Clop and Ali pattern which appeared in Crochet World in 2004. Allfreecrafts has it up illegally. The copyright belongs to Crochet World. This is theft on both parties' parts.

So who's going to notify Etsy since it's totally against their policy to scan and sell someone else's patterns?

You can RSS her shop to Etsy and let them be aware of this.
