Edible Plagiarism: Reconsidering Recipe Copyright in the Digital Age ABSTRACT Sharing recipes through food blogs is an increasingly popular activity. Bloggers publish their own recipes, claiming copyright protection, but they also publish others' recipes. Food publishers who distribute recipes online may be harmed when bloggers include the entire text of the food publisher's recipe on a blog without the publisher's knowledge or permission. The blogger's inclusion of an entire recipe often reduces site traffic to the food publisher's website, thereby damaging advertising revenues. Copyright law, as courts interpret it today, does not provide these publishers with recourse against bloggers who publish their recipes without permission. This Note analyzes the various issues related to the copyrightability of recipes, beginning with the current rule on copyright protection for recipes.

Harris. “Visitors will investigate the myth, conduct an experiment and see many artifacts from the popular TV show.” As seen in the Discovery Channel’s Emmy®-nominated TV series “MythBusters,” the exhibition creates hands-on, interactive experiences for guests of all ages by combining scientific facts with innovative, family-friendly displays. For 14 years, the TV show featured 3,000 experiments in more than 260 episodes and tested more than 1,100 myths before ending its run in March. “MythBusters” episodes can now be seen on “Science Channel.” The show’s co-hosts Adam Savage, Jamie Hyneman, Tory Belleci, Kari Byron and Grant Imahara took scientific investigation to exciting new levels by proving or exploding myths using their highly experimental approach and extensive backgrounds in special effects. Savage and Hyneman were heavily involved throughout the development of the exhibition to ensure guests experience a true MythBusting encounter. "It’s exciting to see fans take on some of our favorite experiments from the show while drawing their own conclusions and data," said Savage.
