i'm an avid reader of www.dianecancook.blogspot.com. i noticed a hostile comment from cheri re: bring on the gravy, claiming the author stole copyrighted information without giving due credit. the post is now deleted, but since i subscribe by googlereader, i am still able to see the post's content. the credit is there, listed right under the recipe (I've copied it for you to see):
Vegetarian Gravy
courtesy of Cheri Sicard, fabulousfoods.com
ingredients
* 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
* 1/4 cup minced onion
* 3 cloves minced garlic
* 4 tablespoons flour or whole wheat flour
* 4 cups vegetable stock
* 5 tablespoons low sodium or light soy sauce
* 2 teaspoons minced parsley
* pepper to taste"
Just thought you should know. Most bloggers give full credit where credit is due. But my guess is that your recipes will no longer be shared on that blog.
I'm sorry you feel that way, but what she did was wrong! Maybe I am hostile, but with good reason. My material is constantly used without my permission. I make a living as writer and this is a very important issue to me and other writers and photographers who spend a lot of time and effort creating content, only to have other people reprint it without permission.
First of all, she copied copyrighted material without asking. This happens so often, I have stopped getting mad about it. But the VERY LEAST I expect is a link back to my site, which she did not provide. yes, she did provide a credit, but not a link. But I think I have the right to be hostile as no permission was ever asked. Not only is this unethical, it is illegal -- it's called plagiarism. Again, if someone provides a link, I let it go. She did not and I wholeheartedly stand by my post.
hi Cheri,
I'm sorry about your content being stolen so often.consider watermarking all your images and have a Copyscape banner on your blog to beware the plagiarists.Write a mail to the copycat and warn her about never ever using your content without permission or due acknowledgment.
so if a hyperlink is used (so lazy sacks of crap can just click), then it's okay? but if the site is listed (and the readers have to physically type it in themselves, which is utterly exhausting) it's not? bizarro.
No, it's not OK, I just choose not to pursue it if they put a link in -- because I am being nice. But it is not OK to use content without permission. Believe it or not, internet content is not just there for the taking, it does actually belong to someone.
