Comment Re:A recipe might not be copyrightable... (Score 3, Informative) 565

On their facebook forum, their magazine has been deconstructed to show where all of their content came from. Its not just recipes, but articles and pictures as well

For example, the image at http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=439516851748&set=a.439514776748.238553.196994196748 of their magazine is a copy of http://www.weightwatchers.com.au/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=1&art_id=38441. This is not a recipe.

Looks like Slashdot's legal team/person/robot thinks your comments are owned by you, which is a form of conversation.

In fact once when I was up there and was in a car accident (friend was driving) the hospital looked at us anyways while we were waiting for my friends cut to get tidied up. I kept telling her, I'm Alright and I dont have insurance in your country.

she said," you dont have it, this is free. even for people from outside the country"

As far as i know (as a Canadian), out of country visitors typically pay for care. However, in this instance it was as a result of a vehicle accident, so the bill may have been applied against you friends' car insurance. Anytime I got to a clinic or hospital, I believe they ask if its related to a work or car accident because it gets billed to them differently.

Remember your audience. This is slashdot. To get a full insightful moderation, you need to add microsoft in a negative connotation.

If you mentioned how Microsoft has been stopping cold fusion by using death panels, then it would have been +5 informative instead of funny.
