The Why of "Annie's Sweet Tooth"...

If you've been following these posts, you'll know that Annie is my late sister who left us on November 21, 2009 due to complications from MDS. (Myelodysplastic Syndromes)  As a fund raiser for the MDS Foundation, I gathered favorites recipes from Ann's friends & family and put them together in a cookbook, called Annie's Sweet Tooth.  This cookbook has raised over $2,000 for the Foundation and is continuing to raise funds...

When the project was completed, in total appreciation for those who ordered cookbooks and contributed to it, I came up with the idea of this "blog", sharing additional recipes, mostly appealing to those with a sweet tooth.  Credit has always been given when sharing a recipe from another blog or magazine or newsletter.  I thought this was okay as long as it was not presented as my own.

Apparently not.

I received this post this morning:

 You've copied my text and reused my photo without permission, which I clearly state on my blog is against my wishes, and is also stealing content. Please remove this post, and other content you've stolen, or I'll file a DMCA report with google who owns Blogspot, and they'll force you to remove it. Thank you.
Well, this kind of floored me!  I am feeling really freaked out.  I deleted the post & the photo (unfortunately, I hadn't tried it yet & it sounded delicious!) 

So, I am not sure what to do from this point on....my husband just came in and caught me crying....apparently, this little comment, has opened up the loss all over again.....the only way I can deal with Ann's death is to keep her alive in my charitable works & through this blog.  Comments?
