Sue's Guidelines

[Guest guest]

Well, was hoping there wouldn't be a lot of OT traffic on the copyright recipe

issue, but apparently there was (didn't read it, 'cept for Sue's Guidelines).

Those who understood and interacted with me in private e-mail have my

appreciation. It's been interesting.

 

Still a tough issue. Regular book authors are still debating (a lot of this is

at http://www.boingboing.net) releasing free electronic copies of their stories

or novels, while at the same time publishing in paper. The case from the

authors there lean heavy towards this actually stimulating sales, despite it

seeming to be counter-intuitive.

 

Also, the " younger generation " that has grown up with the Internet has gotten

used to getting stuff for free online, in general, and it's also an issue for a

lot of news organizations. What's fair use? Will be interesting to see how

this all shakes out.

 

Anyway, I think Sue's Guidelines are excellent (and wish some of the larger,

unhinged, veg recipe swap Lists would do the same). Formerly on one of those

lists, I realized a r who was searching the net every day and posting a

recipe every day, didn't know that many were from existing cookbooks. Tough

times for the professional cookbook author.

 

Regardless, I do hope Sue's post ends discussion. As Fall approaches I suspect

we'll see more ideas and cooking going on, and that's, ahem, cool.

 

Best to all, Mark
