Cooks Source Magazine Apologizes — Sort Of

Posted by timothy on from the helping-budding-writers-everywhere dept.

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.

    How did I know that without having to look that up? God this woman grinds my gears and I hope she dies begging for alms with the same self righteous attitude.

    Indeed, this part in particular:

    "[...] thanks to all our advertisers and writers... [...] To one writer in particular, Monica Gaudio, I wish you had given me a chance."

    She clearly still doesn't get that this woman wasn't one of her writers, she was someone whose work was plagiarised. If she'd never never been caught she wouldn't give a damn!

    Its sad really. The problem is that I have been so overworked and stretched that when this woman -- Monica -- contacted me, I was on deadline and traveling at the rate of 200 mile a day for that week (over 900 in total for that week), which I actually told her, along with a few other "nice" things, which she hasnt written about.

    He wasn't too busy when he took the time to copy the recipe.
