AI Summary
Meggeth shared a personal collection of curry recipes and side dishes he has compiled over the past year, which he intended to be a helpful resource for newcomers. While many community members praised the effort and found it useful, there was a significant discussion regarding copyright concerns, particularly about including recipes from other sources without permission. Ultimately, Meggeth decided to temporarily remove the original documents to address these concerns and planned to update them accordingly.

My Curry Book!!!
« on: October 01, 2013, 10:28 AM »
Hello all,

Thought I would put up my curry document (now removed). Its my collection of information, curries, side dishes etc that I have cooked over the past 12 months and found to be good. This is obviously personal, so I don't expect everyone to like the same things. Most are recipes taken form this forum, cook4one, etc, with a few changes here and there. It's gradually been built up over the past 12 months, and I've passed it onto friends who came for curries and liked what they had.

It's probably not much use for most people on here who have been cooking for a while, as they will no doubt be familiar with most of the information that's in it, but it may be of use to newcomers as a starting guide. There's a pdf file, and a doc file for anyone who wants to modify it.

Anyway, happy cooking!

Meggeth requested later:  "George, can you delete the original docs in the first post please! Ta." So I have, whilst he updates them.   Regards - George

Well done, Meggeth -- a free curry e-book is never to be sniffed at :)

Oy vey, oy vey, oy vey ...

I didn't look at the PDF when it was first sent, but now I do I am very concerned about the front-page waiver :

QuoteThis document may be reproduced without the consent of the author! Just pass it on to anyone you want to!
You can't include copyright material in an e-book such as this and then waive copyright for the derived work; the copyright holders of the original material are the only ones who can do that.  I would strongly suggest that you change the wording to :

QuoteThis document includes recipes that were originally published on curry-recipes.co.uk and/or cr0.co.uk; please respect the copyright of the owners of that material and do not pass it on to anyone other than a member of those two web sites.
Alternatively, seek permission from each of the copyright holders for you to include their copyright material in a derived work that is explicitly copyright-free.

Phil, I just added that statement as a tongue in check comment - it wasn't supposed to be serious really, but I have now removed it.

Or just take phil's advice with a pinch of chaat masala. Works a treat too.

Give over, Phil FFS! There have been - and still are! - plenty of examples of people posting links to real copyrighted material.

As you've so thoughtfully brought attention to Admin's pronouncements, let's not forget this gem!

Quote from: Admin on February 20, 2007, 04:30 PM
Its back and available on the net for free,

www.mydatabus.com/2z/zfa.pbz/kifly98/TheCurrySecret.pdf

This is where the journey began a long time ago for many on the road to curry perfection, worth grabbing this whilst it is available for free

Stew 8)

That link is no longer valid, and I personally value Admin taking the time to make that particular post, but the quoted thread serves to make a point. A trawl through the Ebooks, Recipes & Software etc shows many other examples.

I remember Stonecut got pelters when he thoughtfully compiled a load of recipes from the site a while ago. I didn't agree with the naysayers then, and neither do I now. Well done, Stonecut and well done, meggeth. Your contributions hold much more value to members than some others presently unworthy of mention.
