It sounds as tho Cooks Source has paid dearly for their blunder.

The long article sounds pitiful, but the last two sentences are telling:

"The misuse of Facebook discussed above, also applies to Ms. Gauido; she did what she felt was the right thing, and doesn't deserve this kind of abuse. Regardless of what has been said, we liked her article very much."

So there really is no acceptance of responsibility there.

What I find fascinating here is this plays right in line with book pirates and music theives and attitudes about copyrighted property and breaking laws....

It's really no different and is another indicator of the breakdown of society. We are moving away from being a society of law to one of anarchy.

No, there isn't. In fact, the third paragraph from the end "However: Cooks Source can not vouch for all the writers..." looks like a deliberate shift in blame from them and their editors to the writers.

The balance of that paragraph and the whole part about how this has harmed the people that they were helping sounds so much like a little kid lashing out against the parents who caught them doing something wrong, it is laughable.

There's another rambling statement up at the web site. A choice quote:

"The bad news is that this is probably the final straw for Cooks Source. We have never been a great money-maker even with all the good we do for businesses. Having a black mark wont help...and now, our black mark will become our shroud. Winters are bleak in Western New England, and as such they are bleak for Cooks Source as well. This will end us."

Based on their pathetic response to getting busted on unethical behavior, no big loss IMO.

Monica I am so sorry for any harm I caused you. I never ment to hurt anyone, and I think I did a nice job for you,
Yes, you really did really nice job of editing the article you weren't allowed to edit and Monica should be really grateful that you did not charge her for your wonderful editing job. We got so much from the first email that started this shitstorm.

Most pirates are violating economic rights of copyright owner, but this is the first time I see a person who doesn't care about the right of author to be known as the author of the work. I see on Wikipedia page that those are considered "moral" rights of author - I don't like the naming convention, but I support those, and believe the author should be considered the author forever, even though I'm against economic copyright.

I'mv surprised that you don't see the difference...

Such a silly boy. I said nothing like what you said above. You are just once more twisting things in order to push your own pirate agenda.

I belive you are twisting things in order to push your "intellectual property is sacred cow and every idea can be property" one.

But if you prefer insults to discussion, fine...
