I believe that if the "user" wrote her own directions, used her own fabric, etc., and didn't put Amy's label in it, there is no action to be taken. Basically, anyone can go to a flea market or the like and copy in their own fashion, anything they see, although if the "user" would use a registered trademarked item, that would be different. Just like "copyrighted" recipes can be published by someone else by changing the wording of the directions or the order of the list of ingredients, or the name of the recipe.
I, myself, don't think there is any good reason not to share a recipe unless the originator is making a profit and the process of making the dish is patented. It's an unwarranted arrogant atbreastude on the part of a truly "small" person, in my view.
Gooooood Corn BreadW. Wells You missed his point. Corn Bread is not "cornbread". But I suspect you are spamming anyway, since you advocate a specific brand or place to buy...
A previous poster was right - recipes vary so much because of ingredients and technique, it will never be exactly the same when made by someone else. There is a small percentage of "users" who would blame the recipe originator if something went wrong, but that is such a tiny percentage of borrowers, it shouldn't be a defining reason not to share. If a recipe or two is the only thing a person who won't share has to be proud of, it signifies a pretty unhappy life. JMO.
