I think the idea is that you can tell someone what the instructions are in a recipe and that's fine. Making a photocopy of the book it is in on the other hand would violate copyright.

Same instructions, different implementation. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
