If I tak...I struggle with this when I post recipes. If I take it directly from a magazine or site (love Alton's meatloaf by the way - I've linked it before on my blog but not posted it). My tendency is to take an existing recipe and change it to suit my tastes so I try to tell people where I started if it closely resembles what I make. But sometimes I forget where the recipe came from or I feel like it has gone through a big transformation and wonder when it starts being my own.<br /><br />You said this situation resolved itself but if it hadn't it would bug me too. I might have to email and say in a fake nice tone - "hey...I saw this on Alton and was thinking about making it, thanks for the reminder". Fake nice only because I wouldn't know her intention when she posted it.Michelle Smileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423308673171062647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674212083909151992.post-78113632629638760232009-04-09T12:51:00.000-07:002009-04-09T12:51:00.000-07:00Hey Laura- would you email me privately?

I doubt someone could change 50% of a recipe and still end up with the same meal, but I am all for holding to copyright and permissions. Just this week an author hinted that he had already published an article we were working on for him. I googled the title and discovered he had posted it online for everyone to read. I had to tell him to take it down or we wouldn’t publish him. How would we be in business if everyone did this? Sad, but still surprising.Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812923265330633792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674212083909151992.post-24852153551463477692009-04-06T07:23:00.000-07:002009-04-06T07:23:00.000-07:00I don't have the slightest idea who Alton Brown is...I don't have the slightest idea who Alton Brown is but is it possible he is the dirty rotten thief? or per jjstringham the possibly accidental thief? Just a thought. BTW I'm totally impressed that a you would read a recipe and find it familiar enough to look it up... not at all surprised, just impressed :)Dosboogeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00402779134346459851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674212083909151992.post-76946163488320837592009-04-06T06:24:00.000-07:002009-04-06T06:24:00.000-07:00I have to say that I've called people out on stuff...I have to say that I've called people out on stuff before, not plagarism, but other stuff. All that came of it was me being called a jerk. I say let it go. The world will not end if she gets away with it. But if it really bothers you, write a polite email. Don't write an angry email. And then drop it. She may have an innocent explaination. Or she may be a bad person and call you names. Your call.jmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675989711900224131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674212083909151992.post-75794350345617748872009-04-06T06:18:00.000-07:002009-04-06T06:18:00.000-07:00I think I'd call her on it.

Normally I'm totally against plagiarism. Ho...Hmm. Normally I'm totally against plagiarism. However, I have a hard time with recipes. So many recipes are just passed down from generation to generation, or people memorize them and forget where they got them from, or write them down but don't write where they got them from, etc. etc. If it were anything other than a recipe than I'd totally go after her (and have on behalf of other people before). And I suppose it depends on exactly how detailed the instructions are too (if they're very detailed and word for word maybe you could still go after her). Just my two cents. :-Pjjstringhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647702321301935918noreply@blogger.com
