Sarah Feingold, the in-house attorney for Etsy.com and talented metalsmith/jewelry designer, wrote a very informative article for Bead and Button Magazine (August 2007) covering the topic of intellectual property ownership and the rights of the artist of the designs that are taught in jewelry-technique publications, such as magazines and books. You can read her fantastic article here: Know Your Rights to Jewelry Design.
 Sarah Feingold has also written an incredibly resourceful eBook titled Copyright for Artists - Quick and Easy Copyright Protection.
