"But honestly Monica, the web is considered 'public domain' and you should be happy we just didn’t “lift” your whole article and put someone else’s name on it!"

in that case, everything on the cook source website is public domain too :)

someone should clone their website and put fake names on it. see how long that lasts?

I remember that attitude (back in the mid/late 90s) was very common. Anything posted on the net (or anywhere on the web, really. Usenet or wherever) is public domain. I thought that attitude would have changed by now.
