Cooks Source magazine plagiarizes, doesn’t get the point

This one has me steamed. A print magazine called “Cooks Source” copied a posting on the Internet, edited it, then used it as their own material, with the author’s byline. The author wasn’t notified, didn’t give consent. When the author wrote to the editor, the editor said that the author should be happy to have her writing plagiarized.

Reminds me of what Microsoft’s “Crabby Office Lady” did to me years ago with an article I wrote – except Microsoft didn’t bother to acknowledge me, and didn’t edit anything. Straight copy and paste.
