I know someone who cuts certains articles and craft projects from a craft magazine, puts them into binders, and sells the binders full of crafts projects. They are original pages and none are photocopied, so I was just wondering what the law is about this.

uhmm i still think that's plagerism because you're cutting out articles and claiming it your own. also you're selling someone else's work.

It's a breach of copyright.
The owners of the copyright - usually the author - could sue her for damages.

Just to clarify.... if she put a bunch of the whole magazines into binders and sold them, that would be a legal resale. Cuting out individual articles to "rebundle" and sell is a breach.

Sorry, Elana... cutting out and reassembling the articles into what is effectively a new publication is an editorialization, and is a clear breach of copyright.

She can collect the pieces.
She can sell the BINDER.
She can probably even sell her time to do the collecting.
However, she can not charge for the pieces in the binder.

Violation of copyright!
They can only make such binders for their own use.
Effectively, they are editing anothers work.
They first need to get permission, then give credit.
They can then legitimately charge for their value-added work.
