Hi from CHA! I have been here doing book signings and demos with my new Crafter's Workshop stencils. Very fun and exciting!
I just need to post a little reminder. When you buy an online class, you are buying a license for one personal user (i.e. you) to use the materials. It is unethical to share your class login and password with a friend. In fact, it is theft. The class materials are for your personal use. You cannot share or distribute them in any way, as they are under my copyright and all rights are reserved.
My sweet software-engineer husband can tell when you buy a class and share it, because your computer leaves a digital footprint. When your friend logs in to your account, it leaves a different digital footprint.
Please be honest and do not share your password and login.
Sad that you have to remind people of this. It takes a lot of hard work to plan and produce classes online or face to face, and to have this happen is not nice at all. I love your stuff Dina......love those stencils......

What if I am using more than one device (laptop, tablet, cell phone, etc ) to view what I purchase? I am waiting on my laptop and currently using my phone and a borrowed tablet at times. I haven't purchased anything as of yet but have recently seen a few I am interested in.

Different devices are fine...what is happening is we are seeing people signed in at the same time and their digital footprints are in 3 different cities. So its obvious people are logging in with their friends. :(

Ouch! God that's rude...

It breaks my heart to see that people do this to you...and to others who post online classes.

Bummer that people are taking advantage. Hopefully because their minds were filled and overflowing with excitement with your brilliance and they were simply not thinking clearly!!!

That's terrible! Maybe these people who are so interested in online learning should first take a course in manners and ethics!

A good reminder. I can only imagine how hard you and all the online class teachers work! You all deserve to have this respect.

What a pity people don't respect you and your property!
I've even bought two classes for people in the same house because I knew we wouldn't be sharing house forever!
