Topic: CHECK THIS OUT !!! LOL CHEEKY *************

[DARTHPHALL]

Someone has posted OUR entire Madras thread on http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbfood/F2670471?thread=3423181&skip=0&show=20
& has stated it is their recipe, they have even had the blatant cheek to just copy & paste the entire thing & just post it over on the BBC site. ;D
This recipe is from my local Bir who filled in the missing ingredients after several years harassing them about it, no one person deserves the credit for it, as far as I'm concerned it belongs to all of us here at cr0 online & sharing it with all of you is part of the buzz that i think we all get from successfull cooking ventures, cr0 members have given so much & inspired many to persue unwilling Bir staff. ;D
Petalgirl on the BBC site is a very sad individual, but it gave me something to laugh at today  ;D ;D

P.S. A big thank you to cr0 member richclever for the heads up

I am shocked at this and disgusted but at least you found out and lets hope their moderation team do the dignified thing. Our site now will hopefully pick up a fresh bunch of enthusiasts as a result and we can all benefit from this.

Keep the faith Darth, by the way I intend to thank you and others for the success of my curry nite on Saturday last once I can figure how to get the photographs posted along with my text.

Unfortunately this sort of thing happens all the time on the net as it's all to easy to do, at least she has been found out and should now be ridiculed by her fellow forum members 

As PanPot says it should also help bring in some new members for cr0

Actually its copyright infringement and plagerism! But im sure it was done with the right intention. Although credit should be given where credit is due

The thing is when u search for a topic on a search motor like Google, the link that comes up first is the one that has generated the most hits (I think it works something like that). Im surprised when searching for "curry recipes" that we arent number 1 on the link list, although we havent got the largest traffic in the world (yet) we have the most consistent (thanks to this incredible forum). If you count the amount of people who log in each and every day or just come as a guest everyday, each year then we should be up their with the best. Unfortunately if ppl want curry recipes they will get http://www.curryfrenzy.com/ or another top list link.

Maybe if everyone used Google each day and searched for Cr0 and clicked on the link we should bump up our place on the link page and thus generate even more hits?

Just a thought  :

If it can be copyrighted i would like it to be owned by us IE members,admins & owners of cr0.
But its no big deal just amusing the lengths people will go to get respect etc...etc... lol ;D

Actually Darth all recipes on this site are the intellectual property of their respective authors. The same goes for pictures, photos and webdesign. You need permission to publish anything you find on the web. Thats why alot of people link to sites instead of directly copying information. Then again, you could take a picture or information or a design and change it to such an extent that it becomes your own work, thus navigating around the copyright laws. To be honest there arent any internet police ready to arrest people and  copyright infringement is mostly enforced by goverments on behalf of the entertainment industry.

Theorectically you could sue the person who copied your recipe, but youll get alot further by giving them a word slap . Actually the best bet is to just feel proud, how many people get their recipes copied to the beeb??! gg dood! ;D

i just went on the website that darth gave in his post and on page 2 near the bottom of the page theirs member called the fat chef and says that petalgirl has never worked in a restaurant has she says she have,also she should come to this site and apologize to darth for whats she`s done.
