Oh man, that is not ok on her part. Maybe she doesn’t know any better, so I would probably notify her, but it wouldn’t hurt to notify the actual original bloggers as well. If she had permission she absolutely should have included that info with each recipe, I can’t imagine the bloggers are ok that she didn’t include their info though.

I have gotten emails from Pinterest that something I had saved was not allowed or copyright and they deleted it. The email also stated that it was not my fault. So someone reported it somehow.

Recipes cannot be copywritten, but unless those images are listed as free content, she's playing with fire.
Does she refer to them at all, anywhere? Even in the back? Gah I'd be annoyed to buy a paperback version of Pinterest.

So essentially, she copies recipes and photos, but makes a couple of minor changes and is calling them her own and earning a profit from them? I'd report her.

Don’t ask her about it, she knows what she did. Point this out to the other bloggers, that this woman is making money off their recipes and photos.

Wonder why she doesn't just take her own photos? It's not that hard.

That would really bug me. It bugs me when I search for a Barefoot Contessa recipe and get directed to a blogger making a BC recipe, but at least they are giving her credit. And they are taking photos of what they made, not including Ina's photos. I agree with annabella, notifying the original blogger is the way I'd deal with this. They can contact the IGer you bought the program from if they want to pursue it.

I can’t understand the problem. She’s advising people on a clean eating plan & providing some recipes that you can try. Does she say anywhere on her FB page or in the cookbook that the recipes are her own creations? If not then all she is doing is sharing recipes that fit in with her clean eating plan. The recipes may very well link back to someone else’s blog on Pinterest but there’s no guarantee that they were created by that blogger either.
No one really can put a copyright on recipes as there is no way on this earth that anyone can prove the recipes were theirs to begin with. Same thing applies to the photographs of a finished dish.

That is not ok. I wouldn't notify her, she knows what she did. While the recipes aren't subject to copyright laws the photographs are and I highly doubt she bought a license to use the images from each blogger they originally came from. I'd contact the original owners of the photos and quite possibly return the cook book. I wouldn't feel right about contributing to her making money off other people's work.

Is it possible it’s the other way around? That these bloggers have taken her recipes? I see this so much on sites, and they give a tiny line of credit where the recipes came from but the bloggers appear to be presenting them as their own.

I’ve been following this shit show for awhile now and I’m shocked at how Brittany still refuses to really take ownership for what she did...her apology video was weak at best and she’s so full of crap. I know a few people who lost so much money from her and it sucks because they’ll never see it back. She has offered *some* people a 20% refund of whatever they paid but they’re required to sign a NDA. As for mom situation I don’t think it’s right..especially since she didn’t give credit to these other people on her blog. I wouldn’t be giving any more money to her that’s for sure.

Not ok. I mean it would be the same if someone took Ali Edwards project photos and class PDFs and packaged them up for a class and sold it. She’s stolen the content from someone. And I would say something to someone because who knows how much money she’s taking in off someone else’s content.

This is wrong and i bet some of those bloggers would be upset. Photos are property of the person who took them and are copyrighted. Recipes may not be copyrighted but pictures are and she should not be using others work without permission and giving credit. When you don't give credit it would be assumed that you are the creator of the content. She is financially benefiting from the work of others.
I would bet she doesn't know what she is doing is wrong. On a local wedding facebook page a girl started advertising to make macrame items for weddings and decoration. She posted several pictures and I knew I had seen them before. She had lifted them from pinterest. I privately messaged her that she shouldn't be using pictures of other peoples work as her own. We went back and forth quite a bit. It was a hard concept for her to understand. For a lot of people if it's on the internet and all I have to do is right click to save it, then it's ok.

Is there any way to know FOR SURE who did the original photos? If you can be sure, I’d contact them and let them know what’s going on.
I probably would also say something to the person who is using them if you know they are not HER photos. Sounds like a no-brainer that "she knows what she did" but it may be that she doesn’t understand that photos are copyrighted,

Same thing applies to the photographs of a finished dish.The photos are copyright protected, even if the recipe is not. Not necessarily. What I meant was that if you can't trace the origin of the recipe on Pinterest then you can't trace the photos either.

IME, a blogger will show step by step photos along with the finished product from hundreds of angles so you can usually be confident they are original photographs. It sounds like the book mom received includes only photos of the finished product, either directly stating she created it or implying it is her work.

For the posters that are referring to the copyrights of the photos. Yes, photos are copyrighted but this woman isn't making money from the photographs, she's making money from her advice on how to eat clean. There's a difference. Now if she was making framed pictures or selling those photos so you can decorate your kitchen wall with them then she would be breaking copyright laws as the item she was selling would be useless without the photos. The photos would then be an integral part of what she is selling.Provided those photo had copyright protection and not from a free to use site.
Copyright laws are there so that others can't gain financially by someone else's work. She gains financially from her advice on clean eating and not by the photos. She would still make money whether she used photos or not of the recipes.No one is buying her clean eating plan just for the photos.

But it's impossible to prove who or where the photo came from and taking a photo of a finished dish could very well be identical from more than one person. I can find very many photos of a Victoria sponge cake on google, many of them identical.......who would you credit in a case like that ? What if she took the photo off some of the sites that you can download professional photos for free or even if the blogger on Pinterest had done so ? There's thousands, probably millions of photos on those kind of sites that are free to use.

The creator of the photo owns the copyright unless expressly states otherwise. Fair use of photos would be for commentary, education, criticism, research, parody, or other work that comments upon or adds to the original work itself. In this case the recipe compiler is treading on I think a rather thin line. If the photos are being reproduced for teaching this is fair use. If they are being used for selling a cookbook this is infringement. It is my opinion that because she is making money from her program it would tend to be the latter case, that she is using copyrighted images in a commercial fashion and in my estimation the compilation of the recipes is not transformative enough to be an exception to copyright but I’m a layperson and not a lawyer. It wouldn’t pass the smell test in my classroom.
