It's kind of all over the web already, so you may have seen it, but it's nevertheless worth passing on. The comments are interesting too, if you have the time to read them; some copyright lawyers and previously-infringed writers chimed in with good advice. What's important for writers to realize, though, is that they have both rights and recourse in cases like this, that your work is copyrighted the moment you put it on the proverbial (or real? does anyone do that anymore?) page, and that Cooks Source Magazine and the editor who perpetrated this offense should both be retired in shame.
