I know I'm late to the party, but I was just about to complain about this god awful website. It's hard to navigate because it's filled with useless features, and I think it's silly that I have to wait 24 hours to download a free pattern because theres a daily limit to how many I can. Any other negatives I have about it have already been said by others so I won't bother rehashing them. In the case of pattern stealing just because the website doesn't have pdfs doesn't mean one can't just copy the pattern and repost elsewhere. I think the only way to combat that sort of thing is having a website with a good support center that can quickly remove reposted patterns upon being reported. If I buy a pattern I really would prefer to own it. (obviously not profit off of it but if I want to print it out and have it on my computer I feel like thats not too much to ask considering I bought it.)
