Hi -
I recently came across images from some 1980s Back Street Designs Pattern Books. Originally intended for paper cutting, they are ideal for scrollsawing.
The books are now long out of print and only isolated copies seem available second hand, and none of these here in the UK.
BSD were originally in Alabamha, and I can now only trace a web page design company of that name.
I have emailed the Guild of American Papercutters to ask about copyright issues for these patterns and had no reply. Their web site does not seem to be "live" so I don't know where to go next.
Does anyone know who now owns the copyright to Back Street Designs Pattern Books content. If I can't establish a copyright owner, am I entitled to cut the patterns or not?
Thanks - Paul
