Am I being a little precious? ???
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/recipes/chorizo-and-capsicum-risotto/51870
Although there is a couple of slight alterations, it's almost verbatim of my recipe and instructions I posted here
http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=6578.msg86131#msg86131
Got the better of me and I commented.
What do you think?
-
Isn't this the second time someone has tried to copy your recipes Maddy. >:( >:( I know the first was your Cheese and Bacon Rolls and they even used your photo...cheeky devils.I think you did the right thing and post a comment :) Let's see what happens ;)
-
I know the first was your Cheese and Bacon Rolls and they even used your photo...cheeky devils.
LOL...yes, using my photo was overstepping the mark :o
Will be interesting to see if the link to this forum remains ;)
It just bugged me a little....if I make a variant of someone's recipe, I acknowledge it.
-
I reckon when you know that people blatantly copy your recipe you really get cheesed off, even though its supposed to be the highest form of a compliment. I mean --- out of all the recipes in the world... I've had that too on that website and I will never post again and never go on it again cos its cheesy and in my opinion its pathetic. They should check for authenticity being a Vorwerk website.
-
That is the downside to putting anything on the Internet, it is there for all to see and some to copy >:(
I had someone copying my knitting for a while, even using my descriptions word for word, I didn't find it flattering!
I am pleased that you commented, see how long the post stays up?
-
Yeah, it will be interesting to see if they delete your comment.

Good on you for the coment Maddy.
H :)
-
Very strange. I mean, why would they even bother? I know before I put up my recipe for the baby food comp, I did a quick google search for the recipe to see if there were any thermomix recipes out there already before I put mine up. It doesn't take long to do that to just check that you're not copying someone else already.
I see she's only a new poster, so maybe she doesn't understand how it all should work yet?
-
Maddy, I think it is a Bl...y cheek. Glad you replied. They should say where it came from and give the developer credit. Several of mine have been copied by different TMX people without credit. I think one way around it may be to do what Quirky Jo does and call the recipe, Maddy's ..........
-
How rude they should at least ask permission
-
Maddy, I would have asked why she copied your recipe, its obvious she did.
-
Maddy, I saw that the other day and got very angry because I knew it was your recipe which you had posted on here. Some people are just so damn rude >:(
Good on you for replying.
-
How rude, interesting to see what happens, I would be contacting the moderators of there site.
-

That quirky Jo sure is clever ;)
-
Maddy is there anything on the recipe communiity on the policy of copying others recipes ? If there is, quote the policy to the offender ! Otherwise maybe start a new topic on copying of recipes, then it might not get buried within other topics.
Love your recipes, my kids favourite all time TMX recipe is "Cheese and Bacon Rolls"
-
That is really rude, especially the issues that are at V??? Regarding this forum. I am glad you replied Maddy. As you said Jo has a good idea. I believe she is doing a book.
-

Well this one is a tad different....as she said to roast the capsicums first (which is really a pointless time consuming step, particularly if smoked paprika is used), there is 4 garlic cloves instead of 2 (which personally I think is way too much), and the rice, water content is halved....but apart from that ingredients and instructions the same.
That's why I decided to leave a comment.

Thank you Debbie :) but if you notice, I did list the source of the recipe inspiration ;)
-
I also noticed that there's no way to report the recipe. I think that's irresponsible of the company - you need to be able to report copyright and offensive material, especially in an environment where people are encouraged to share recipes.
-
I have contacted them before regarding copied recipes, and the cheese & bacon rolls one was removed. I have noticed that some posters there, do credit the source....which is great.

Well it's now re-named Maddy's chorizo & capsicum risotto ;)
I believe she is doing a book.
She will do exceptionally well 8) Good on her....hope she has enough printed.....they will be a sell out!
-
I made a complaint to the recipecommunity about another issue, and have not even been given the courtesy of a placating email! I doubt anything will happen about copied recipes. I really am thinking about taking my recipes off and just posting them here.
-
Pippa, they will pinch them from here.
Good on JO , I hope it is a success as her recipes are quite different.
-

This is not good Maddy, your comment on their site is very polite, only she (the poster of the comment may realise what you mean) We could all en masse put a comment on the site in response/objection., maybe the site will crash.... LOL
-
could it be just coincidence , i have used this combination of ingredients for many years in risottos and pasta
-

No coincidence......the procedure listed there is verbatim.
-
Maddy, the same person who copied your recipe and posted on RC is listed on here, with same username, last active on here yesterday 11.38 am.
-
LOL....your such a good detective Robyn ;D Your in the wrong business LOL.
I haven't posted any recipes over there since 2010....and won't again....this is home :)
I must be a little narky this week.....take a look :P
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/recipes/cake-pops/51404#comment-32392
Suddenly "thermomix" think it's a fabulous idea 2 years later.... :-)) LOL.
-
I wonder if its possible to remove any recipes you've posted there?
-
I have way too much time on my hands here. :)
I am Thinking of doing a online business while I am work here, to keep me busy...
-
It's more than rude, it's outright pliagiarism. Personally I would be reporting this to Vorwerk or HO.
-
I would be quite angry about that too Maddy.
-
I'd be peeved too Maddy!!
>:(
-
I too would be so peeved with it myself.I have had a few of my photo's "stolen" with the person having the cheek to claim they took the photo themselves. I now only post photo's with some sort of watermark on them to make it a little harder for people like this. I would be reporting this to the higher authority Maddy if I were you. Its just not on.. >:(
-
I see on Quirky Jo's blog that her book is nearing completion. Very much looking forward to that one.
-
Interesting that the person hasn't noticed this thread and come out and apologised.

I agree, but it would be hard for her to acknowledge this now. It is the right thing to do and would take a strong person to do so at this stage; I guess the best we can hope for is that she feels the weight of our disapproval and never does it again.
-
I am trying to get those recipes off RC, but not having any luck >:(
-
True Marina, but it's much easier to admit a mistake and apologies online than face to face. I just worry that she will feel like she can't contribute here in the future for fear of being "found out", if she was to admit her mistake I'm sure everyone would be happy to just move on and forget about it and it would surely be a weight off her shoulders. I guess I'm assuming the individual does acknowledge that she has done the wrong thing which maybe a big assumption on my part.
-
Maddy
Just replace all the text if you can't delete the recipe .............. (with a recipe that's had really awful reviews lol)

-
I tried to remove my recipe yesterday without any luck - good idea about replacing it.
-
Maddy I read the comments you put down the bottom and thought they were actually too diplomatic.
I would probably have made a comment that this recipe is very similar/the same as one you posted here. Whilst you have no problems with people being inspired by your recipes you are offended when someone plagiarizes your work completely and unedited. One of the greatest things about the Internet is that it encourages free sharing of recipes, information, etc but when people steal ideas that someone has worked so hard to develop and given freely on the Internet it leaves a bad taste in people's mouth.
Copying is not cool
-
Can you modify your post then go in and delete it?

-
Maddy, if everyone does that, they'll be wondering what on earth is going on lol. Probably makes more of a statement than simply removing them hey !
-
I think it would be good to say (under the recipe) why you have taken this action. Not everyone on RC is a rogue and the honest ones must wonder what is happening.
-
Doesn't matter now, I have deleted everything.
On my recipes I clicked "edit", go to the second page, and down the bottom there is a pink button "unpublish".
Not everyone on RC is a rogue and the honest ones must wonder what is happening.
yes, that's true.....I don't wish to have those recipes there anymore, and the majority of those members will be on this site anyway.....as we know....re: the risotto-gate :P
-
Now if you/we could only do it to the risotto recipe.
-
I can't get on via that link Maddy, it says my access is denied - never had that problem before.
-

Wonder, I can't now either. Maddy said something further up about clicking on unpublish so that's probably why we can't view it now.
-
The link to the risotto recipe works http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/recipes/chorizo-and-capsicum-risotto/51870
but there is a chorizo pasta in latest comments, that won't let me access it either....obviously a different issue there.
I have removed completely the 6 recipes that I had posted in 2010.
-
I see that the copied cake pops recipe was recipe of the day last week. I also note that your comment has been removed ;) Very dodgy!
-
The whole website Is dodgy. I would stay away from it. No talent and no clue how to run it.
Gert
-
I removed the comment myself, as I had deleted the recipes there, including the cake pops......but the very next day, it did become recipe of the day....funny that :P
I'm not responding to the latest chorizo/capsicum comment.....I think MJ summed it up perfectly :)
-
That website is bad. 18 users currently, and so hard to get around.
Questions seem to be answered by 1 person all the time. :(
No wonder we love it here.
-
maddy your comment is still there, have u seen the comment kharks made :-))
-
Not good... >:(
-
maddy your comment is still there, have u seen the comment kharks made :-))
Thats the comment I'm not responding too....bit of a ridiculous thing to say really....yes, I own all the ingredients :-)) :-)). Seriously :-X
-
And I thought I was the only child on these forums.... :-))

Now who would that be obbie? She must be employed by HO eh?
Gert
-
;D ;D ;D ;D Yes Gert, strange.... but true..
-
Laughable really. Do they think people are dumb???
-

Yes they do as dumb people think others are dumber than they are. Big mistake.

Or you go completely unanswered as I was last time I made a comment about something that I felt was not correct in their dealings with an issue. It was just plain rude not to answer my concerns even if it was with platitudes!
-
Yep, I answered a question recently where someone was having trouble editing a recipe. They lost the lot when using the back button.
I mentioned that I didn't bother putting recipes on that forum anymore as it was too clunky and took forever.
Then said I put them on THIS forum.
My comment disappeared! Funny that...
-
The other thing. Is that you can get " real time " help here if you are in the middle of something. There is usually someone who will,answer.
Gert
-
Thats why we love it Here...
-
This website is waaaaay better you get so much help here and lovely friendships
-
Agreed Yvette! ;D
-
Proved by the recent retreat at Gracetown. ;)
-
The original is always the best and we strive to keep it that way for MM don't we Cookie?

I wonder if that was me. I asked that very question a few weeks ago and got no answer from HO, just a single reply from someone else and certainly never saw your response meganjane!

That's one of the things I love the most about this forum! There is always someone around to answer your question or give advice.
And the recipe reviews - I always check on here for modifications before making anything out of HO books. Saves wasting ingredients or ending up with something inedible

I have a feeling it was you Pippa! Was it about the issue of using the back button and losing everything you'd input? I think Ros responded with something about you get to understand it after a while, then I responded.

Yep - that was me. My other issue has never been answered (I can't say any more without offending people, which is not my intention as it is not their fault, but HOs). I am considering taking my recipes off and just publishing them here too.
-
I just don't go on there at all. :)
-
Neither do I anymore. I think I will delete my account becaue I never use it.
-
I dont go on "that other site" anymore either. This forum is waaay more user friendly, and all the recipes have reviews and tweaks which are really helpful. I dont care for the politics of all of this, I just want to cook yummy food!!!
-
Kath, Bring on the yummy food....
I agree.
Thank you so much MM..... :-* :-* :-* *:
