Comments on: Recipe plagiarism? http://www.googleadsensesecret.info/google-adsense-secret/recipe-plagiarism The Big Google Adsense Secret Revealed Wed, 04 May 2011 10:57:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Crystal M http://www.googleadsensesecret.info/google-adsense-secret/recipe-plagiarism/comment-page-1#comment-148 Crystal M Sun, 02 Nov 2008 23:02:59 +0000 http://www.googleadsensesecret.info/google-adsense-secret/recipe-plagiarism#comment-148 I have a recipe web site and have entered a number of recipe contests over the years. As a result I have been concerned about the topic you bring up as well. From my research, the list of ingredients in a recipe would not be protected under copywrite law but the directions for that recipe can be. So, if you write your own spin on how a list of ingredients should be used to make a particular dish you are technically safe from my understanding. Most recipe contests that I have entered require there to be at least 2 changes to an ingredient list for it to be considered a new recipe. That's the legal stuff. Ethically, if you copy the ingredients for a recipe and the directions are pretty close, I think the source should be cited out of courtesy. It sounds to me like what you're doing is just fine. Good Luck with your blog! Crystal<br><b>References : </b><br> I have a recipe web site and have entered a number of recipe contests over the years.
