Looks like HO may have 'talked' to her: http://www.opensourcecook.com/cheftools/

However, on her home page where she's ranting about copyrite stuff she still talks about being a consultant. And on her facebok page she still has PC photos (along with a nasty bra-strap photo).
 
Very nice. Glad she finally figured it out.I made a comment with the P&P and looks like it was deleted.

Just saw this on FB:

Pampered Chef Cookware | Facebook

What's interesting are the comments made on the wall. Here's one where it has the person's name and picture:

As an Independent Sales Director with the Pampered Chef, I am proud to represent such a great company. Even in our harsh economic times, sales of our products have remained strong because my customers are entertaining at home more, going out less, and needing quality products in their kitchens that stand the test of time, come with a great guarantee, and make cooking fun. It's the best!

Wow. She truly doesn't understand the legalese. I get that ingredients are facts, but how those items are put together is the creative process which is covered by copyright. (Uh, that's my interpretation...I could be totally wrong...but for now, that's my story and I'm sticking to it)

In today's world of blogging, HO really needs to address the internet restictions in every issue of CN (IMHO).

It's like she thinks the copyright statement HO puts on all their recipes is just there for giggles. :rolleyes:

do you think she's Smarter that a Fifth Grader? LOL

I bet she's a real bi-atch in person....just reading her 'justifications' and how she words everything lets you know that she thinks pretty highly of smarty-pants-self. She still talks about being a consultant on some of her pages and check out her FB link. I'm sure HO is watching her by now.

Her disclainer is actually kind of comical. Notice how she actually contradicts herself and the law...
Not to mention for someone who is so disdainful and insulting to a company's policies she shure is promoting them alot!

She's actually correct that recipes can't be copywrited. I can't post a Martha Stewart article and call it mine, but there is nothing in the law that says I can't post a Martha Stewart recipe and comment about it.

However, she's still posted a lot more than PC policies allow and she is in a contract with them.
 
Meow! Hiss! Well, if she had only read the policies, she wouldn't have to get her undies in a bundle!
 
From the parts of her personality that she has shared....I think she strives to have them in a bundle :D
