Oh my, I agree. I have some victorian designs that I purchased from a book, in a bookstore, from a legit source and I see them for sale here on Etsy and other places. That's straight up reselling. It would be the same as me selling those designs that I purchased up for people to buy on here, I did not make them nor do I own the copyright. It's not the people that are purchasing these designs and using them in their work, the problem is those selling the designs as original clip art, when they are NOT made by them.
Also, if you are selling a pattern for something, I'm pretty sure that allows people to make them on their own, and sell the product they made. If you don't want people to copy your idea, then don't sell the pattern!
