The publisher of Cooks Source magazine, who also edits and distributes it herself, is sorry for the mess she has caused her publication and advertisers. If the magazine continues, she will be more careful about attributions, but she may need help with copyright law.

She questioned how a chef using a recipe he or she finds online for profit in a restaurant is any different from a magazine publishing one found online. “There’s a big question about recipes,” she said.

This is a bit said, actually. I hope she doesn’t face a lawsuit or huge debt over this, even though she appears to have neglected intellectual copyright entirely. I think the Internet is a mystery to many people who don’t ask if they should do something that their technology allows them to do.
