Cooks Source Magazine Apologizes — Sort Of

taco8982 writes "Cooks Source has published a statement in response to the uproar over claiming the web is public domain a couple of weeks ago. While it does contain an apology, I'll leave it to individual readers to determine how apologetic it actually is." It also seems that the publisher has decided to cease publication entirely.

    Well, at least she was nice enough to close the TCP Connection at the end of her statement with a FIN. So to her I say "FIN ACK"

    It's sad when steals something that doesn't belong to them.

    Sadder still when they whine about being too busy to take a phone call or reply to email in a timely way when the owner tried to contact you. This is the 21st Century, on the internet; we don't wait two or three days for people to get back to us.

    And the saddest thing of all is an editor who can't spell "it's" correctly in the very first sentence of their lame explanation for having stolen something.

    Why do you think she wasn't writing her own material in the first place?

    And someone on Slashdot should know the difference between loose and lose.

    In fact, the "apology" states that they usually get their content by copying it from whatever cookbooks publishers send them to review!

    Ugh, once again my craptastic spelling and lack of coffee prevented me from typing "audacity" so I just mailed it in with "gaul" (which should have been "gall"). To one poster in particular, Kyont (145761), I wish you had given me a chance.
