I have been made aware that some guests/members are selling recipes from this site, and possible creating books or ebooks (Ebay etc).  It depends on your point of view, but if a recipe is uncredited then it is free to copy but still liable to copyright laws if it is then sold for profit.  Similarly, If someone posts a recipe here which is fully accredited as their creation etc,. then it may not be copied or used for gain without the permission of the author or copyright owner.  I think this should be placed somewhere in the conditions or whatever, just so that pirates know they may be liable for prosecution!  I would hate to see all your hard work be stolen for someone elses profit.  But then I guess the majority wouldn't mind.  What do you think.

Listen you crazy person.  If you want to be a pirate captain then learn the trade
Its Keel-hauling and the cat o' nine tails you want, as well as hanging from the yardarm by the thumbs, or failing that make 'em walk the plank (after you have done the rest of course)  ;D  Could do with a yohoho emoticon here now.  Suppose you will calling yourself Darth Blackbeard now

The Ebay skank merchants have always done this and they always will.  The best thing to do is create a few throw away ebay accounts and ruin their auctions.  Doing this with a couple of accounts is best by forcing the price up high so that the scammer ends up paying really high fees to Ebay   

You can try and report them to Ebay but they don't really care, as long as they get the fee's they turn a blind eye. 

I have actually listed an auction warning people that all of this information is availiable free here!  Might have to relist it 

I sell my CTM recipe on ebay, its all my own work and is on this site with my blessing FOC.

Ebay has unfortunately become more of a front - end loaded collector of fees - content with the collection of $$$ rather than monitoring the integrity of the individuals that utilize the service .
