It's perfectly OK to photocopy a pattern for pricking from a book that
you've bought. In fact in some of my lace books there is the statement that
this can be done on the copyright page.
What is not allowed is copying a pattern to give to someone else or multiple
copies to use in a class. Authors get very little for their published work
without people stealing it.
I think it's the Lace Society that points out that if you borrow a book from
their library, legally you are not allowed to copy and use a pricking from
it because you have not purchased the book and have therefore not paid the
designer to use their work.
