I called Ebay and the customer service rep didnt know this answer I am pretty sure. I won an auction for a quilt pattern. I didnt notice but the description said that the pattern was pages from a magazine. I received the pattern and it is usable and complete but it is actually pages out of a quilt magazine.
Does this sound legal? Would the pattern be copyrighted or property of the magazine?
I only paid two dollars for it and I do like the pattern. I am just curious.
Thanks! | |

I've seen people sell whole magazines so I wouldn't think there's any law or anything against it-as long as it's not a copy of a page from a magazine. Seems cheesy to me though. |

Well, you can sell the whole magazine so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to sell just pages from one. | |

It would be illegal to copy the page and sell the copy. | |

People sell individual magazine pages for various reasons.
Vintage ads are probably the ones I see the most, but I see them sold for photos/articles of celebrities as well.
