Just worth noting , as far as the number of people selling tut's. I do mostly boro work and spend most of my time in boro orientated sites, ex. The Melting Pot. I have yet to see anyone selling a tutoral on anything.The knowledge of glasswork seems to be shared with no fears of someone "stealing" a concept. And believe me, everyone there is making a living with a torch. What drives everyone on is learning something and moving it to a next level.Just seems this tutorial selling really got going as the economy tanked and sales of items started falling off.
I have bought some tut's, Pipyrs and Brents, (which were both worth the money) so I'm not indicting the practice. But I am saying it's to make up sales more than it's claim of protecting "intellectual property" which is a stretch in many cases.
