Plagiarism

[lemniscate]

Very, very interesting situation for basically the entire published recipe industry.

I had read about this in one of Nagi's columns some time ago.  She even showed a recipe of hers side by side with the one Bellamy had in her book.  The were indeed identical, save for a word here and there.

a while back , I looked up via google a few Rx's for SV carnitas

 

I noted that several had the same basic template

 

ie author picture , upper R  .  two line bio  underneath 

same fonts  several times . same basic description of method 

 

a few minor ingredient changes in one or two

 

and , get this :  one person forgot to add the amounts of each ingredient  in the ingredient list !

 

the same list !

 

so its clear , via very little work , Rx's on the internet are meant to garnish clicks for ads.

 

going way back , Martha Fellow stole an Rx from a previous FR cookbook.  verbatim 

 

lost suit , paid up.

 

then in a later book , did the same thing taking material from the same author

 

in a later book .  lost suit , paid up .

 

didnt bother Felon in any way it seems

 

etc.

 

so plagiarism is not new.  its now just on Steriods .
