RecipeTin Eats vs Brooki Bakehouse: Why copyright in the kitchen is a murky field - By Julia Abbondanza sbs.com.au/news/article/recipe with a comment from me, highlighting how cooking recipes do not fit easily within copyright law. #recipes #copyright #passingoff #consumerlaw #auslaw I also give a bit of a shout-out to the Sprigman book 'The Knockoff Economy' which explores subject matter on the shadowlands of IP - such as recipes, comedy, fashion.

A dispute has erupted between cookbook author Brooke Bellamy and Nagi Maehashi of RecipeTin Eats over allegations of plagiarising recipes. But a legal expert says copyright law in the kitchen is murky.

My respect and sympathies to the Judge for all the thought and careful reasoning put into instructing the Jury.

Wouldn’t’ve been needed to if Media and Police were more respectful of prejudice concerns.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has been asked to investigate allegedly misleading claims made by Australians for Natural Gas theguardian.com/environment/20 Kirsty Ruddock, the managing lawyer of the corporate and commercial team at the Environmental Defenders Office, which drafted the letter, said the ACCC had identified misleading claims about energy and greenwashing among its compliance and enforcement priorities for 2025-26.

“We’d like them to investigate so they can determine whether there are breaches of the Australian consumer law, and ensure that companies that are making these types of statements are held to account.

“The longer these representations go on, the more impact they have. So it’s important to address them relatively quickly, and make sure that the regulators are looking at it.” #greenwashing #auslaw #auspol

Last month, it was confirmed that almost 9,000 court documents had been downloaded following a major data breach of the NSW Online Registry website.

Detectives arrested the man at a property in Maroubra, seizing two laptops in the process.'
