What if I modify the recipe to make it different (healthier)? : : Thanks. : Dear Mr. Hayward, : The copyright law protects the mode of expresssion not the content. Copying the mode of expression of the creator is the infringement. : A little legsl research could set the comfortable parameters for what can and can't be done and how to do it. : There is a mixed bag of cases on copied telephone books. : M.
