A website that offers -- for free or payment -- a design that belongs to another website without permission is stealing from them. Websites that sell designs do so to make a living. Intentionally bypassing a website by using websites that offer free or reduced pricing on designs that belong to other websites without their permission -- means you are stealing -- even if the other site is offering the design for free. There are many designer/digitizers here on Cute and we prefer to support all digitizers by spending a little money.

I was once offered a design by someone demonstrating machine embroidery at a fair; she was willing to share the design she was using at half the price she paid for it. That in itself was illegal. But even worse for me: it was one of my own designs, posted free in DBC.
I for one only buy from reputable companies and am so appreciative of the work our Moderators do in alerting us to the illegalities of some of them.
Thanks for keeping us so well informed Moderators. Love Chris
