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?
