That's not the point. The point is that some members of kuro.ph lifted text from another site and posted it verbatim here without citing their sources. It is not the responsibility of conniev, or any other author for that matter, to go search every single page on the net and check whether their words, pictures, or any other work is being used elsewhere. That is an impossible task. It is the responsibility of those who "borrow" these things to give due credit to the author... and that's just the least you can do.

On to specifics... conniev has posted on The Radical Chef a Creative Commons License. Under this license, others are free "to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work" as long as they "give the original author credit." Attribution - a simple acknowledgement of the fact that somebody else came up with the recipe - that was all that was needed to prevent this whole mess. A simple note saying "originally posted on _____" probably would have been fine... but no. There simply was no acknowledgement. Now, unfortunately, it is a case of intellectual property theft.

Now, I leave it up to the board moderators to figure out what to do. Me, I'm just voicing out my opinion... that's what these boards are for, right?
