I was taught by my demo to photocopy the sticker sheet before mounting them on the blocks, and use that inside the cover of the plastic box to easily identify what stamp set it was and to know which stamps go in which box......
Is this wrong to do too??
In reading all these threads recently about copyrights, I havent been able to figure out if what I am doing is "legal" or not. Since I am not profiting, is that OK? Or is it a NO NO altogether??
I would think you could just stamp the image on a piece of paper and stick it in the stamp box. Then you are just transferring the image and no copyright issues should be violated as long as you are not selling the images

I am so confused.....:confused:
I think what you are doing probably falls under the fair use provision. You're only making a single copy, it's for your own personal use, and you're not distributing copies to others in either electronic or printed form. With computer software, you're allowed to make a single backup copy in case something happens to the original program disk (it's in the licensing agreement you said 'yes' to during installation). You just aren't allowed to give it to anyone else while still running the program on your own computer, or to sell copies of the software (or collect any kind of fee, even to "cover" the cost of the blank CDs). This seems like a similar situation.

Something else you could do instead of photocopying is to stamp on your storage box with the Stazon pad. You don't have to worry about losing your paper that way!
