re:Message for Mr Falafel - 2006/06/07 23:37
It's not a non-issue for me. While I don't have a specific recipe that I'd like the source for, I really do think that it's respectful to those who created the recipes to be referenced in some way.
My family has produced several cookbooks and I know that it really pisses me off when I see those recipes pirated on the 'net with absolutely no credit give to the people who created them. They may have a few things changed, but they are close enough to be recognizable. I'm all for information sharing, but I don't see a contradiction between sharing information and crediting its source.
I think it's great that you, Mr Falafel, share so many recipes on this group. But I do think that you should take responsibility for the fact that you're not crediting them, and that in doing so, you're not giving recognition to the people who've developed the recipes (rather than writing it off as a 'non'issue'). Perhaps you could try to incorporate sources into any new recipes you add to your database?
Just my 2 cents,
