    [QUOTE=kethry;8081167...
    Just as an aside, i looked at the latest posting of pennypincher: she's apologised and removed the offending posts. I think maybe, apart from general discussion of where the line is in terms of posting stuff from other people, that's where it should end, myself. :)

    I agree Keth, I'm glad the blog has been sorted :)

    May I just clarify? (I don't want an arguement either Haribo). We're not talking just pictures and recipes here. We're talking about copying someone's original words/thoughts/postings.

    I'm with you Queenie, lifting recipes is one thing but stealing your thoughts is another. I'm really shocked by the example you've given here especially the bit where your 'grandmother' has been altered to her 'mum'. I notice the post has now vanished from the blog. I wonder who else's words have been pinched.

    Recipes are a tricky area when it comes to copyright. I asked a board guide once about this because someone wanted a recipe from a particular book I happened to have a copy of (that'll be most of the cookbooks ever published then :o:D ). Apparently it is OK to copy them out provided you give full credit to the author.

    But, there are grey areas because it's a rare recipe that is completely original. All recipes are based on some existing recipe somewhere and as Kethry points out recipes often become known as 'So and So's cake' or whatever because So and So is who you got the recipe from. I've experienced this with the Chocolate Fudge Pudding recipe. I have given the title and author of the book I got it from several times on this forum, but I posted it in my own words. It's one of those old recipes that has been around for years and even Nigella has a version (with chilli in).

    I think if you are going to use other people's recipes on a blog the thing to do would be to say something like ' Nigella/Jamie/Hugh has a great idea for a pasta dish which has this, this and this in. I tried it and it was yummy but I made these changes ......' and then you can write your version and give suggestions for other variations. You could take your own snaps of the finished dish too. It would be really great if Pennypincher could do something like that, I'd enjoy reading it.
  • I'll never have to worry about my recipes being used thats for sure :D but I do agree thriftlady as one recipe posted by Caterina was posted as pennypincher's "blah, blah" which is not "just sharing" but taking as their own and not really cricket.

    Cricket? What's cricket got to do with anything???? Blimey, the poor lass didn't understand about copyright, how the heck is she supposed to understand the rules of cricket and low ballers??? :confused:

    Thank you, sloppy, for letting us know about the update on the webpage. It had an interesting turn of phrase :D:D:D

    I'm pleased, for her own sake, that she has amended things - so all is well that ends well :D:D:D

    That's an easy one... here ya go...



    RULES OF CRICKET

    You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man
    that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes
    in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all
    out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes
    out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men
    still in and not out.

    When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him
    out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out
    and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out
    all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
    When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both
    sides have been out twice after all the men have been in,
    including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

    :D
