Eggcorn database is amusing. Kunstformen der Natur is beautiful. >O Thank you for posting that.
I think it's okay for them to be selling their knit/crochet patterns online, as long as it's not subscription-based or "nobody is allowed to come up with the same thing" like for copyright/patent stuff? Kind of like buying a cookbook [which is information] just once, and not losing the right to use the recipes under any circumstance. Maybe the patterns come with a really nicely written step-by-step guide and stuff, or a promise from the author to answer any questions about it. They're not paying for mere information, they're also paying for a service!
edit: included in the service is 'not having to go to a store and browse through physical things at the risk of not finding what you need anyways'
