I'm always reluctant to assume malicious intent... maybe the girl just forgot where she got the recipe and went looking and found something similar... Nah.

After all, it's free (to STEAL), the good recipes drive their traffic and they make money. I mean, I don't want to be a downer but seriously- if someone else is making money off of your ideas, you need to get paid. Getting paid to do what you love- ultimately, that's a big goal in life.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00201875180006647900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1159984406679121312006-10-05T03:53:00.000+10:002006-10-05T03:53:00.000+10:00I read somewhere that the ingredients are not unde...I read somewhere that the ingredients are not under any kind of copyright, I mean who as the rights on tomatoes.<BR/><BR/>The process by which you make the recipe belongs to the author though and when I see a recipe I want to try on the internet, I take down the ingredients and do not follow the instructions to a "t" but make up my own steps and then publish those.Gia-Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992947311477100789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1159969438632313432006-10-04T23:43:00.000+10:002006-10-04T23:43:00.000+10:00I hate these bloody recipe databases (well, maybe ...I hate these bloody recipe databases (well, maybe Epicurious is OK) - you hardly ever know exactly where the recipes come from or whether their owners know they're there.
