Personally, I really don't care who can see or access the cookbook or if
they choose to make it available on other websites. Lest we forget, the primary reason for compiling and selling the cookbook was to make it possible for r.f.c. to make a meaningful contribution to an organization who could benefit from it after the 9/11 disaster. That was accomplished. I freely give recipes I have created or collected to anyone who asks for them, whether I know them or not. I consider it a compliment that they would want to use them. I don't know if the cookbook was actually copyrighted or not, but there are millions of copyrighted documents floating all over the Internet and most are not from the original source. Regardless of what anyone else thinks, the cookbook is not a sacred document, and even if it were, many sacred documents, including the Bible, are freely available on the Internet. Many posters are acting as though someone has taken their first born child and offered it up to anyone who wants it. Get over yourselves. Try to remember that it's only a cookbook and they are only recipes. NBFD. The detractors posting here have ripped "charitable act" right out of the original project. -- Wayne Boatwright "One man's meat is another man's poison" - Oswald Dykes, English writer, 1709. |

The *original* intent of the cookbook was simply that RFC should have it's own cookbook (no more, no less), and this was a seed planted at least two years prior probably longer. Nothing was happening, the cookbook concept was on and off sleeping, and then all of a sudden there was 9/11... and that is what gave impetus for getting the cookbook rolling. But the charitible aspect *originally* had no bearing whatsoever on generating the cookbook, that was an after thought to help increase sales to a number so that production costs would be more managable.

Protection against unauthorized use in a particular country depends, basically, on the national laws of that country. However, most countries do offer protection to foreign works under certain conditions, and these conditions have been greatly simplified by international copyright treaties and conventions. For further information and a list of countries that maintain copyright relations with the United States, request Circular 38a, International Copyright Relations of the United States. </quote> http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ38a.html#points <quote> SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER REGARDING THE INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION OF LITERARY AND ARTISTIC WORKS There is no such thing as an "international copyright" that will automatically protect an author's writings throughout the world. Protection against unauthorized use in a particular country basically depends on the national laws of that country. However, most countries offer protection to foreign works under certain conditions that have been greatly simplified by international copyright treaties and conventions. There are two principal international copyright conventions, the Berne Union for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Property (Berne Convention) and the Universal Copyright Convention (UCC). An author who wishes copyright protection for his or her work in a particular country should first determine the extent of the protection available to works of foreign authors in that country. If possible, this should be done before the work is published anywhere, because protection may depend on the facts existing at the time of first publication. If the country in which protection is sought is a party to one of the international copyright conventions, the work generally may be protected by complying with the conditions of that convention. Even if the work cannot be brought under an international convention, protection under the specific provisions of the country's national laws may still be possible. There are, however, some countries that offer little or no copyright protection to any foreign works. For current information on the requirements and protection provided by other countries, it may be advisable to consult an expert familiar with foreign copyright laws. The U.S. Copyright Office is not permitted to recommend agents or attorneys or to give legal advice on foreign laws. </quote> -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |
