Recently, a for-profit food website used a blogger's copyrighted recipe and article without permission. The blogger informed the publication that her work was posted without permission and was asked what she would like in restitution. She requested an apology and a $130 donation to the Columbia School of Journalism. She got a scathing reply from the editor who claimed that the Internet is public domain and that they were doing the blogger a favour by correcting the atrocious spelling.

Um, the recipes are from medieval cookbooks -- apparently, they couldn't spell for shit back then!

Anyway, prepare to be amused and horrified and terribly temped to bake these two apple pies!

Start with the CBC News piece, follow the links to [livejournal.com profile] illadore's blog, and check out the recipes in her original article.
