Thanks, but I'm retired and have as much time on my hands as I please. That
Dimitri girl, with diarrhea of the mouth, is just a little girl wanting to
sound important. She doesn't bother me any. BTY I have never tried to run
this news group. I only shoot back when I'm shot at. I post recipes that I
think will taste good and are Mexican in origin. I did post a recipe for
Old Fashion Biscuits that got everyone stirred up. I can't for the life of
me understand why they just don't use their killfile to not read the
recipes that I post. If you don't like it, or me, don't read my post.

Mr Barfieldsr

I'm a longtime lurker in this newsgroup and have tested and enjoyed
many a recipe from you and other people in this group.
Keep up the good work,and don't let the superciliousness of David
or Dimitri's lack of maturity get you down. (Keep posting)

Don

I guess you've discovered a new source to rip off:

http://www.fish2go.com/recipes.htm

Since you have combined 2 recipes have you ever tried your own concoction?

It probably would be in most interests here just to
'forward' the recipes to the web masters at the appropriate
URLs.

A retired employee of a very large company was copying my
posts, substituting his name and publishing them as
originals in a company magazine.

The law is very clear and so am I. I just want his
retirement income for life.

Therein lies a problem. The man is not in violation of copyright laws
because he is posting recipes he finds on web sites, no more than
anyone else is for posting any recipe. You can not copyright a single
recipe, only a collection of published recipes in the form of a recipe
book. Meaning that someone could reprint or pass-on any recipe from
that book or source as long as they didn't copy the entire source
(book, web site, etc.) completely and exactly. You can not copyright a
fact or idea, only the manner in which they are presented and a recipe
falls under facts and ideas. Just like you can't copyright a song,
only the lyrics.
Even if there were copyright laws for single recipes, he still would
not be in violation because he is not reproducing them for profit, nor
is he claiming to be the author of the recipes. This is because there
are certain infringements that the copyright law excuses under the
doctrine of "fair use." In an effort to define fair use, the copyright
law provides a four-factor test and failure to obtain profit or
personal claim falls under one of these factors, thus making it
exempt.
Here are some links about copyright laws and recipes (among others).

He is not in violation of any copyright laws, although there may be
something said about ethics. But, since he is not deriving anything
from posting these recipes and is only doing so for the benefit of
others, there is nothing unethical about it. Especially since he is
not depriving the authors of any income in doing so (these recipes are
free for anyone to read and use-the sites do not charge you to have
access to them.)

This is not a correct statement of the law, as it exists. A mere
listing of ingredients is not protected under copyright law. However,
where a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary
expression in the form of an explanation or directions, or when there is
a collection of recipes as in a cookbook, there may be a basis for
copyright protection.

> Meaning that someone could reprint or pass-on any recipe from

This is also not correct. Please see the "Fair Use" provision of
the Copyright Law, 17 USC 107.

> You can not copyright a fact or idea, only the manner in which they
> are presented and a recipe falls under facts and ideas.

The first two-thirds of the above sentence is correct, the
conclusion is not. Please see above. Where the idea and the expression
are inseperable, as in a mere list of ingredients, there is no
protection, but where directions on how to mix the ingredients are
included, there can be multiple ways of expressing those directions, and
thus, there is originality of work, giving rise to Copyright protection.

> Just like you can't copyright a song, only the lyrics.

This is CLEARLY not correct. Please see Title 17 of the US Code,
sections 102(a)(2) and 102(a)(7), which specifically list, "(2) musical
works, including any accompanying words", AND "(7) sound recordings".

> Even if there were copyright laws for single recipes, he still would

Completely irrelevant. The mere act of copying without
authorization, or violating any of the other rights specified in
sections 106 to 122 of Title 17, is sufficient to trigger an
infringement of Copyright. Please see Section 501 of Title 17.
Commercial gain is only relevant for CRIMINAL copyright infringement,
please see Section 506 of Title 17.

Since he is willfully posting these recipes which he knows or
should know are protected by copyright, he is subject to the statutory
damages of $150,000 per work infringed.

> nor is he claiming to be the author of the recipes.

Irrelevant. See above.

That is a tremendous oversimplification, and an erroneous one at
that. There are four factors which must be considered, but it isn't a
"test". It's a balancing act.

You're better off going to the source, the Copyright Office
itself: http://www.loc.gov/copyright/

> He is not in violation of any copyright laws, although there may be

I would disagree with your analysis and conclusion, as it does not
comport with the law as it stands. He is clearly infringing on the
Copyrights of the authors, and he is not doing so within the "Fair Use"
provisions of the law.

> But, since he is not deriving anything

Again, derivation of profit is irrelevant for civil infringement,
and the fact that he's doing it for the benefit of others is also
irrelevent. If you don't believe me, look at the RIAA lawsuits busting
all those people sharing their music for the benefit of others.

> Especially since he is

But he DOES deprive the authors/owners of the website of income,
by not properly attributing the source, and eliminating the need for
people who seek such recipes from going to that site, and clicking on
the ads from which the web owners derive their income.

--Douglas

I snipped everything. It can all be read in the last post.

Bravo, Douglas! You gooooooo, guy!! Very interesting and enlightening
info! Can't wait to get to the library and look all this stuff up.
I have worked very hard to perfect my own recipes and would be very offended
(to say the least) if they were plagiarized. I hope to compile them all one
day and write a cookbook. (like there's not enough cookbooks out there) But
alas, being a chef, my time is consumed with preparing food for the masses.
No time for writing, editing, etc. It's nice to know that one day, if I do
find time for it, I am protected. I have commited about 300 recipes to text
over the 23 years "in the biz".
Those people who just copy/paste recipes really make me mad. It takes a lot
of work to put together food in a way that is pleasing to others. This is my
livelihood, my income, my career! To all those who copy
recipes...........don't sit back in your easychair and think this is just
good fun. If you are truely interested in food, go out there and get
involved with it! Travel to the places that the food you love originates
from! Taste it! Talk to the cook! Come up with your own innovations! Be
creative!

Ok...enough of my tirade.
happy cooking........Misschef

Douglas,
You really need to follow your own advice. Below are excerpts from the web
site link you posted.

Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the
reproduction of a particular work may be considered "fair," such as
criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining
whether or not a particular use is fair:

1.the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of
commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

2.the nature of the copyrighted work;

3.amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the
copyrighted work as a whole; and

4.the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the
copyrighted work.
http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html
This is the "fair use" factors I was quoting from in my original post.

Exempt from copyright:
Mere listings of ingredients, as in recipes, labels, or formulas. When a
recipe or formula is accompanied by explanation or directions, the text
directions may be copyrightable, but the recipe or formula itself remains
uncopyrightable.
http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ34.html


Mere listings of ingredients as in recipes, formulas, compounds or
prescriptions are not subject to copyright protection. However, where a
recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary expression in the
form of an explanation or directions, or when there is a combination of
recipes, as in a cookbook, there *may be* a basis for copyright protection.

Protection under the copyright law (title 17 of the United States Code,
section 102) extends only to "original works of authorship" that are fixed
in a tangible form (a copy). "Original" means merely that the author
produced the work *by his own intellectual effort*, as distinguished from
copying an existing work. Copyright protection may extend to a description,
explanation, or illustration, assuming that the requirements of the
copyright law are met.
http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl122.html
Since very few recipe directions are actually original, (as anybody knows if
they have ever baked or cooked a lot), this would have to be one very unique
recipe.
There are only so many ways you can prepare foods and many ingredients have
to be combined in certain ways in order for them to work properly.

As for your statement:
"But he DOES deprive the authors/owners of the website of income,
by not properly attributing the source, and eliminating the need for
people who seek such recipes from going to that site, and clicking on
the ads from which the web owners derive their income."
Most people looking for recipes do NOT go to the web site in order to click
on the banner ads. Actually, I have yet to meet anyone who even clicks on
banner ads, due to the risk of virus infection and also because most banners
are complete crap and are akin to SPAM.
Angel

Hmmmm... Maybe I should just keep my recipes to myself and carry on with
just cooking. My bubble has burst......sigh.

Nothing you posted here contradicts what I stated in my post. Yet
I'll still clarify some things here as well. You declared the "four
factors" as a test, and stated (or strongly implied) that if it met any
one of the factors, it was exempt. That is simply not true.

> Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the
> reproduction of a particular work may be considered "fair," such as

This is correct. The way they were being posted here was for none
of the above purposes, as far as I can tell.

I did not deny the four factors existed, and am well aware of
them. I simply stated that you did not understand how they are applied
in evaluating "fair use". And from your current comments, I still don't
think you understand.

I never said the ingredients list was subject to copyright, on the
contrary, I believe I specifically said the expression of the
ingredients was inseparable from its function, and thus not protected.
I did say that the expression as to how the ingredients could be
combined, mixed, and brought together into a final product could very
well be an original expression, and subject to protection.

I believe the above paragraph is precisely what I said in the
previous post, albeit without the emphasis on "may be". However, under
current copyright law, pretty much any original expression affixed in a
tangible medium does, in fact, enjoy protection.

> Protection under the copyright law (title 17 of the United States

That IS the law. Who are you to say that the posts are NOT
original in their expression of how to prepare the ingredients that are
listed? Unless you have some evidence that (a) shows there was a
previous identical expression, AND (b) that the author had access to it
and copied it, the work is presumed to be an original work.

> Copyright protection
> may extend to a description, explanation, or illustration, assuming

Yes, that's correct.

Again, as you said before, Copyright doesn't protect the IDEA or
the FORMULA. It protects the original expression of said idea or
formula. Thus, if there is originality in the explanation of how to
prepare or combine the ingredients, it is entitled to protection of the
Copyright laws.

> There are only so many ways you can prepare foods and many

That is your opinion, and you are entitled to it. I make pretty
much one "dish", chocolate chip cookies. And I can assure you, that not
only the ingredients matter, but that they can be combined in many
different ways, different orders, and with very different results.
After many trials and errors, I have discovered my particular method,
that I believe makes the best chocolate chip cookie to my likes, which I
do not share with anyone. And yet, my method is NOT subject to
Copyright protection. However, saying that, I can still express how to
do it my way, in as many different ways as there are letters in the
alphabet, and my teaching of my method WOULD BE protected by Copyright.

Again, that's YOUR opinion, of which you are also entitled. All I
can say is that if nobody clicked on ads, there wouldn't be very many of
them, and yet there are, because people DO click on them, generating
income for those people who have them. A lot of the "free" sites
wouldn't exist anymore, without these ads. The red herring regarding

No need to do that. Though the ingredients themselves aren´t subject
to protection, your clever, interesting and original explanations about
how to put the ingredients together are protectable. And any stories you
add to the recipes about your efforts to create or discover the recipe
would also be protectable.

Sorry little girl, but you can't possibly afford the legal clout that would
be necessary to even come close to getting my retirement. Your a pitiful
little cockroach, and would be stepped on as such. However, if you have a
million or so for your attorneys, take your best shot little girl. It's not

Thanks Angela, he is just shooting his mouth off. There have not been any
"Original" recipes in over a hundred years. Simply because a site Says the
recipe is copyrighted, doesn't necessarily mean it is copyrighted. The
courts would have to decide that, and I don't think they want to go to the
expence involved in a court battle, unless they could prove a substantial
loss of income from posting the recipe in a news group.

BULL SHIT!

Original recipe # 1

Toll House cookie
This - the original chocolate-chip cookie - was created in the 1930s by Ruth
Wakefield, who ran the Toll House Restaurant outside of Whitman,
Massachusetts. Mrs. Wakefield, in a moment of brilliant inspiration, cut up
bars of chocolate to add to a basic butter-cookie dough. History was made.
Today, the chocolate-chip cookie is the most popular in the United States.

Oh, and I rarely just shoot my mouth off. Especially when it
comes to the law.

> There have not been any "Original" recipes in over a hundred years.

Well, now isn't that another one of those wonderfully typical
arrogant, ignorant, and completely stupid statements that YOU are
becoming so famous for. You know, in the late 1800's, the Patent
Commissioner declared that everything that could ever be invented, had
been invented. Was he related to you?

I do NOT cook, but I do help others cook, and I have come up with
several ORIGINAL recipes of my own, both in ingredients, and in process.
It does not surprise me that you don't think there is anything original,
since there sure doesn't seem to be anything original in your brain, and
may well not have been in 100 years.

> Simply because a site Says the recipe is copyrighted, doesn't

Since 1978, all original works affixed in a tangible medium are
automatically protected by Copyright. Since most websites didn't exist
prior to 1978, they would be protected. The recipes themselves would
might also be Copyright depending on the factual basis surrounding them.

Actually, the expense in filing a Copyright infringement suit is
rather low, especially when compared against the potential damages that
can be recovered. Also, the majority of the expense would be on the
defendant, since the presumption is that the Copyright is valid, and you
would have to affirmatively prove any defenses or mitigating
circumstances.

Apparently, you do NOT understand Copyright law either. The term
"statutory damages" means that they don't have to prove ANY actual
damages or loss at all. All they have to prove is that they have a
valid Copyright, and that they have registered it before they filed
suit, an easy thing to do. The statutory damages can be as high as
$150,000 for each work infringed, not a bad return for a $200 investment
in filing the law suit.

To my knowledge, there is no such thing as a "common copyright", nor
a "common law copyright", if that's what you meant. At least not in the
United States, I am not familiar with the laws of other jurisdictions.
All Copyright Law in the United States is enabled by the U.S.
Constitution, and established by Federal Law, pre-empting any State laws
which may speak to the issue.

Here's your own reply from below talking about what I was referring to:

Since 1978, all original works affixed in a tangible medium are

Okay, Jim! I had never heard the term "common copyright", much
less applied to the above. I think "automatic copyright" is a better
and more commonly used term. The above law was established by the
Copyright Act of 1976. Usually "common law" is that law established by
(long standing) common usage or case decisions. All Copyright law is
based in Federal Statute.

Why would I have to hide from people in a news group? Like I said get in the
real world and take your best shot, lol.

Mind telling us where you got that recipe that includes an Italian
pork product?

BTW, there are hundreds of recipes in the archives of this ng. Those
of us who have been around for a few years know how to search for
them. Just use Google Groups, which is easy to do.

Or did you have another point in mind?

Whew, thousands! We're setting a record for inquiring and civil
lurkers, maybe. But then, how would we know?

Do inquiring and civil lurkers contribute recipes? And how do lurkers
inquire? I suppose they are civil by lurking and not contributing.

I know what a misanthrope is, but what is a misanthropist?

And do you know whether we named perps have ever contributed recipes
that we have, ourselves, actually cooked? Only the Google knows for
sure.

P.S. I think Wayne would be disappointed to have been left off your

Wow! "Thousands?" "Thowwww-zzzzandzzz."

Oh, I post elsewhere, Donnie, make no mistake about that. Several "posts"
but being an ignorant north-end-of-a-south-bound-mule, you're just too
mulishly arrogant to know that.

Interesting. I had to look that up on www.dictionary.com.

In the '80s I contributed to C3; just finished creating what
I think is a revolution in computing for police departments.
Maybe you know something I don't.

If in the DFW area, I'll introduce you to my sources of
tacos al pastor, posole, chipotle chicken, etc. or just a
buffalo hamburger.
