If it was mediocrity ( the spelling I do not remember ) that was copied , then that is sad.

Others are making pointless hue and cry. She can demand huge money from Yahoo. Bloggers have made lot of efforts in her support.

But I agree that all the bloggers should get paid by Yahoo. This is a good way to demand money from Yahoo, although recipe is not a big issue.

Take Digg for example. The concepts underlying Digg dates years back, more than decades. Check these videos out … and then think whether there are similarities. Everything gets built on something else….IP makes no sense in software.

That’s what I meant to say in the second sentence above. Sorry for the omission there.

It seems to me that the bloggers’ insistence that Yahoo itself apologize for what it probably a subsidiary’s error.
This kind of error seems fairly common with blog start ups, actually, since a few searches on the net give a lot of results for this. New blogs need content for their sites, quickly, and they usually hire out independent contractors to generate a couple of thousand posts in a few days. Only by having content can they hope to get genuine user-generated content, and some of those freelancers are less than entirely honest, and so the bad decisions by a freelance writer who works for less than a dollar blog posting and who doesn’t care about professionalism reflects poorly on a large company like Yahoo!
I’d say that it has been dealt with appropriately and that the plagiarized bloggers really can’t hope to get any kind of renumeration out of it (how do you prove that you suffered financial loss from this? How much?) strikes me a somewhat grasping.

You can list only the ingredients. But you CANNOT copy something like:

“I was trying to make this recipe in my kitchen and then I saw a cat and a mouse and then I turned back to make the curry again” – You cannot copy the way or the instructions written and post it on your portal word by word. That is copyright violation

If recipes are not copyrighted as Steve says, then why don’t we all copy from Yahoo’s recipes collection and also from some cookbooks?

Of course Indian bloggers are mad at Yahoo whatson. There are protests posts on lot of Indian blogs.
