are recipes protected by copyright?
102167
FROM : http://www.thecopyrightsite.org/faq.html#recipe\n\nCan I copyright a recipe?\nNo. A mere listing of ingredients is not protected under copyright law. However, where a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary expression in the form of an explanation or directions, or when there is a collection of recipes as in a cookbook, there may be a basis for copyright protection

Copyrights can protect literary, scientific, and artistic work if they are "fixed in a tangible or material form." So the word has to be recorded in some way. According to the U.S. Copyright Office, "titles, names, short phrases, and slogans" are "generally not eligible for federal copyright protections." -- from Ask Yahoo!

nope you won't get sued for that. But that depends upon the depth of how you'll gonna use it. Actually i am a singer/songwriter myself and have lots of my stuff copyrighted already. As far as i know, if you will use our stuff commercially or for personal gain, you need to recognize the composer AND pay their royalties. Just be careful though. It would be best to contact the maker of those animations and talk with them on how to go about the issue. :-)

You could do both.  Frankly I'd be amazed if they just bought the recipe.  Very often home recipes don't translate into large production facilities.  The ingredients are too difficult to mix correctly.\n\nThat being said, if you can produce it yourself and create a brand, you could always sell it to another company.  That way you could work out any production problems.

Do not listen to those other people in what they responded. They have no clue. First of all, if it is a product (not like music etc..) you may want to seek PATENT protection, not copyright protection. Go get a couple hundred bucks and go speak to a PATENT ATTORNEY. You are going to have to pay for a professional opinion, one way or another.

Anyone can hold copyrights, and religious entities frequently do. For instance, various translations of the Bible are copyrighted, along with the extra material that goes along with various editions. Tax exemption and copyrights are unrelated.

Remember!\n each thing on a website is copyrighted even if the webmaster / owner has not put a copyright notice.\n to copy / save any item from a website u must have permission to do that. to get permission send an e mail to author of the website and ask for permission.and if he alows u to copy/save the data from his site than u can do.\n and if u do not recieve any reply from the author dont consider thats mean is ok to use.\n any way. many webmasters do not care  or they allow people to use thier data.but its better for u too contact to them before using thier data.

They probably have a copy-protection software on it. Anyways that is illegal. That is copyright.

Chances are that the content is copyright by the original creator.  When this happens, they can ask you to take it off, and you must do so, or if there is significant damages, they can sue you.  If it is less than 10% of their site and is for educational purposes, then you can legally copy the info if it is not patented.

So what you're telling us is that you're gonna violate copyright laws and send an illegal copy of the program to people so that they can get arrested for software piracy. Is that right?\n\nNo thanks

The Chicken Soup books are copyrighted, so I doubt that you will find a free download of them that's legal.
