SC - breakfasts?

[Charles McCathieNevile]

M'lord,
	I agree.
	Based on my recent dismay at talking to a SCA member this past
weekend that said he was on this list and wanted to publish a collection
of two to three hundred recipes and sell them at events for the education
of the population of the SCA. But he couldn't because, according to him,
all recipes are copyrighted by the person that posts them and when he
contacted someone on the list for permission to use the copies, he was
told in no uncertain terms that he would effectively have his rear end
sued off if he did. And that even possession of them was a violation of
the copyright laws.
	He said he destroyed everything he had, quit the list, and was
ejected from his household for destroying the collection that many of his
friends wanted. He is thinking of leaving the SCA permanently. And, no,
he refused to say who on the list he had talked to.
