Hello All,
I am surprised at the fact that the maker of the pins has not recognised the
copyright of the picture - I contacted the maker of the pins (named Jamie, I
think, and I don't know whether it is a man or woman!) on another matter,
and whoever it is said that they cannot use pictures of bobbins on pillows,
as the pictures are copyright! I have sent him/her some of my pictures of
pillows etc., but it may be a good idea to contact Jamie - tactfully of
course, as copyright issues are different in each country! - to ask if he
realised that the picture concerned was still copyrighted - in this country,
the UK, anyway.
I hope that this helps, but maybe the maker of the pins is entirely unaware
that the picture still has copyright issues!

Catherine, I do hope your husband will contact both the seller and ebay
regarding your husbands copyright. Sellers shouldn't be allowed to get
away with theft.
I think copyright laws are different in the US than here. You have
automatic copyright here and it lasts until 70 years after the
author's/artist's death. In the USA I believe it doesn't last that long
and don't you have to register copyright there?
With global sales of just about everything, perhaps it's time there was
one copyright law for the whole planet, but I can't see that happening
because we wouldn't want to give up our rights for something lesser and
those who want free access to material wouldn't want the length of
copyright extended elsewhere.
Rather looks like someone's bought a badge making machine and is stealing
anything they can to put on them.
