Does copyright for a story containing a recipe protect against use of the recipe outside the context of the story?
- numpad0 5y agoI think the question is “is it possible to split recipe from BS story programmatically”
- CrazyStat 5y agoGenerally yes. Most recipe blogs use semantic markup so that Google recognizes it as a recipe, which also makes it easy to scrape programmatically.
- CrazyStat 5y agoNo
- lbotos 5y agoNo, but it stops straight scraping, and requires a scraper to do a little bit more work to copy the recipe.
- kwhitefoot 5y agoNot much extra work surely. Most recipes are on sites that use the same template for every recipe so it's pretty easy for a scraper to find the ingredients and method. The structure is usually even labelled with meaningful class names on the elements.
