Stamping & Carving

Recommended Posts

Jbird did this first, so I am going out on the same branch.

I have heard some things about J. Watts "Stamping & Carving" video set and was wondering if anyone would be interested in renting their set out to me? I would pay a fair rental fee and insured shipping both ways, no problem.

Side note: The internet guild rents out their videos, I would be interested in offering my videos (VHS) up for rent. What do you think?

I appreciate anyone considering my request. I have couple of references from members here who have loan me their items and returned them. Just drop me a PM and I will provide their names.

Thanks.

I know people are going to loan things out to their friends, but I'd rather not do that through LW. The reason is that many leatherworking teachers depend on the sales of their materials to continue to produce MORE videos and books and if guilds lend them out and sales are lost, the author has to quit. It's not worth it to them if they sell one copy and 30 people watch it. The general public does not casually buy leatherworking books and videos. I'm all for sharing, of course, but we get into a fuzzy area when we start loaning/renting COPYRIGHTED material. It hurts the very artists we admire and want to learn from. If you think someone is doing a great job teaching, support them. Buy 10 copies and give them to your friends. If you rent or lend them out, the author gets no compensation, and in the long run, we all lose.

Ok I must say I do understand that theses folks need to sale there stuff to make a go at it but, here's my deal I am going to buy a set but I can only buy one so I want make sure it's the right one and viewing them before hand will let me find that out.

And there is this as well if you buy it from a member hear wich I am all for they have already bought it and if there selling it there not buying another one so it dosent help the maker of the DVD same end result in my mind

so to say don't rent is not any different then saying dont sale your set because the maker dosent gain.

Now I know if one person rents to a bunch of people then it gets out of hand and you are taking from the maker.

That's my thought but I see what Joe is saying and she is almost always right I just think there are some times that renting is about the same as a selling.
