Band Together _then_ Legal Counsel Up

Do we think this is the only time Cook's Source has done this? If this manner of "generating content" is common practice for them, sure 1 writer grouching about one article may not be worth a lawyers ability, but a multi-party (class action?) suit could break this publication. There are plenty of professional food publications out there, so no one's really going to miss a criminal outfit.

Other people have expressed their outrage quite well. If you start a legal fund, I will donate to it.

How about using the Facebook "Report this Photo" option on the pages containing the article? It's got a nice check box for being your intellectual property right there.
