Yaaaaaaam yam yam yam yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam. 
Typing in “cache:cookssource.com” into Google, and I get a site from earlier in the day with the phone number and address, but I only have two menu bars on top. I checked archive.org, but apparently the site is set not to allow archiving.
It’s all still batshit insane on the Facebook front.
I don’t want to be the one to say it, but anyone out there with real life contact info might want to contact the local P.D. for a wellness check. I don’t want to hear about any purple lifeless legs swinging back and forth in front of the abandoned laptop.
Further information on Harley-Davidson’s trademark. I found an article that says there are twenty-three sounds that have been filed as trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Among them are NBC’s three-tone chime and the MGM lion’s roar.
According to the pic of a Cook’s Source cover in spark240’s link, the magazine itself is free. I assume they gain “profit” from selling ads? If not, does this change anything?
Even if it weren’t, archive.org is way behind even it’s own schedule of releasing stuff 6 months after the fact.
They do indeed make money from ads. There are plenty of these where I live… a local magazine with various lifestyle articles, interspaced with adverts from local firms.
The magazines are placed for free in shops and businesses, and the revenue comes from the advertisers.
Wait, is she actually egging the *Internet *on ?! I swear, some people, they’s just too daft to live.
This doesn’t make any sense. You seem to be saying that if an author didn’t charge and didn’t forbid others from using a text, then it’s not okay to copy it without her permission, meanwhile, if a publisher does charge and does forbid others from using a text, it is okay to copy without their permission.
They didn’t claim it as their own. They named her as the author.
From the OP’s link: “However, some basic Google-fu lead me to find them online and on Facebook. In fact, after looking at the Cooks Source Facebook page, I found the article with my name on it on on “Page 10” of the Cooks Source Pumpkin fest issue.”
Bolding mine.
I don’t usually weigh in on the copywrite violation threads because I don’t have a strong opinion on the matter. But I think the anti-copywrite-violating folks have a real point here.
If what this magazine did isn’t okay, then anyone who makes copyrighted music available in any venue which also contains ads, without the copyright holder’s permission, is also in the wrong.
Disclaimer: the following is not an official statement from the USPTO.
They applied for a trademark (serial #74485223) but it was rejected.
What he’s saying is that it’s not the same as downloading music. When you download music, you are taking something that is for sale, and copying it for your personal use. In this case, the company is taking something that is freely available (but copyrighted) and reprinting it for sale, without compensating the author.
In digital music terms, it’s like taking a free copy of a song from a band’s website, putting it on a compilation CD and selling it, without telling the band.
Yes, it’s still a form of copyright violation, but the character of the act is entirely different.
And, as I understand it, this sort of thing happens everyday on college campuses. As everyone knows, everything done on college campuses is totally legal.
Just don’t search my dorm room, dude.
Heh.
An editor, huh?
“[A]n editor at The Voice, Housitonic Home and Connecticut Woman Magazine,” no less.
Interesting that the only hits I get for “Housitonic Home” are this very quote. I wonder if she meant Housatonic Home, which seems to exist normally on the web in several forms, or if there really was a “Housitonic Home” publication that’s subsequently been erased from the Internet in a Stalin-esque purge?
What kind of editor misspells the name of her own publication?
Actually it’s exactly the same. In both cases you’re making unauthorized copies and deriving benefit without whatever compensation the owner seeks.
There are two links missing from the current version of the site. ‘About’ and ‘Contact Us’.
I didn’t visit those links while I was there so I don’t have them in my cache. And the pages that were linked to have been moved or deleted.
I guess we’ll just have to create our own ‘About’ page for her.
Too late for an edit, but Google cache still has the About.
The facebook “like” count on Cook source was 1000 yesterday. It’s over 3000 this morning.
Really? I’m a sap then 
They have published 2 of my photos on their online site and I let them do it for free. I should have asked for cash - it never occurred to me.
