I know that from the first cookbook people have "stolen" without thinking by jotting down a recipe when asked by a friend or neighbor for their wonderful "fill in the blank" recipe.

It wasn't huge. It wasn't entire books (usually) and it was done on paper with a pen or pencil.

Was that a form of proto piracy?
