Apologies to Ricky Soh of www.aromacookery.com

Hi Ricky,

I hereby offer my most sincere aplogies for not asking your permission in lifting the recipes and pictures from your site.

I was just answering to some of the request in seach of some recipes and found them in your website. So i lifted them from there, overlooking the need to seek your permission.

I have never habour the intention of claiming those recipes as mine, I was merely just posting them for the benifits of all those with the similar interest.

I have taken the necessary actions to deleted those posts.

My apologies if i have caused any inconvenient to you.

Sincerely,
Mospeada

I just don't get it..all these people are willing to post their stuff online, and yet they still have this primitive mindset that it is private property.

All that is needed is an official acknowledgement when queried.It's just sad that Asian societies have this problem with information sharing, and usually the source is very beholden to some supposed letter of the law in their heads, and never stop to think of the positive aspects that might instead have formed the outcome.

No need to get so punitive, as what I think is going on...

like that the farmers can sue him for using their vegetable names in their recipes Rolling Eyes

come on la, its just bloody food.

not like you're showing some secret recipe.

eh you cooks who got nothing to do, go and mind your cooking la.

Just because it's about food, it's less important? Recipes are intellectual property too.

If the authors ask for acknowledgement, just add on their names and url lor. Is basic courtesy wad. Else just remove the whole dang thing.

well the cooks seem to be making a big issue out of it, which i think is not even necessary.

LazerLordz SG

Precisely.But Mos's apologies gave a hint that these cooks are more than just asking for acknowledgment, which IMHO is fair enough.

Will the cooks go on strike cos of this? Mr. Green

choco B SG

Are they? I don't detect that suggestion.

Anyway I don't know the whole story, so I won't speculate.

kopiosatu SG

i hope so, then they'll be busy striking and not earning money Twisted Evil

Come on, your nick maybe tarnished for playgiarism but to run away from it is worse. Just stand up to your critics. You already face the music right? Who knows..if you get through this you may be recognised as the great cyber chef Laughing

I have to stand up for my action and I take leaving as the best thing to do for all....
