Copyright Infringement and Me

[illadore]

The tl;dr version of this post: My 2005 Ice Dragon entry, called "A Tale of Two Tarts" was apparently printed without my knowledge or permission in a magazine and I am apparently the victim of copyright infringement

Their website is down so I guess they've been eloquently bombed out by tiny and useless internet-users. That don't only handle writing, they know technology, too! We should all cease immediately and go back to being stupid.

Facebook! Already passed on my views :)

Hi there,

Thought you might like to know that the level of bastardy you've experienced has been commented on in one of (if not) the preeminent newspaper publications in Australia:

THEFT

[anonymous]

Copying an article under copyright is theft. If this the same Cook's Magazine that I sent last year as a subscription for my grandson's birthday
and the annual compilation for his Christmas present, I shall not repeat my error and I shall be certain to tell him that Cooks's Magazine is a magazine run by thieves. Inasmuch as he will be attending a large accredited university in culinary arts next year, he will be able to spread the truth among his fellow chefs to be. Your theft will cost you far more than the pittance that was requested. I am going to suggest to the author of tghe stolen article that she obtain youre subscription list from WorldCat and send message about your theft to all libraries that subscribe to your magazine. Plagiarism is viewed ver dimly by accredited colleges and universities. You have a home somewhere, the BBB in your home town needs to know what thieves you are.

DON'T confuse Cook's Illustrated (formerly known as Cook's Magazine), which I assume is what you're referring to above, with this thing. CI is a very good publication that does all their own testing and recipes. "Cook's Source" is a giveaway mag that appears to consist entirely of articles and recipes from other sources and it wouldn't surprise me if most if not all of them are plagiarized without permission.

You should see what folks have had to say over there. It's very "yo mama." A little juvenile but funny as hell.

Illadore, just wanted to drop you another word of support from the West. Give 'em hell.
