This doesn't make sense to me. Isn't the recipe itself still not subject to copyright law? What is the benefit to the creator to adding the personal expression

- hollerith 4y agoNo: that's the point: copyright law says that a plain recipe is not copyrightable -- i.e., if I copy your recipe, you cannot sue me for copyright infringement unless the recipe is mixed in with your opinions and subjective perceptions and such.
- anamexis 4y agoRight, I get that, but the thing people value (I think) is the recipe itself, which is also the part that can be copied (when separated from the opinions and subjective perceptions, which I suspect most people don't care about).
