    The app wasn't blocked for copyright infringement. Apple hasn't asked for any changes. Evernote isn't blocked, or Pocket. You're talking about something different.

    Copy Me That only scrapes a recipe when the user clicks the share button on a wepage, like Evernote. It's not a crwler.

    I'm curious why you call it malware? You can visit a website, find a recipe you like, click a button, and the recipe gets copied to you recipe box. It's like Evernote, but is speci…

    I also think it's worth noting that the content that they're complaining about is saved to private accounts. DropBox (Google Drive, etc., etc.) isn't responsible for stuff you save…

    I have sued Jill Selkowitch. My lawyer says that it will cost $40K, at least, and take more than 6 months before it gets before a judge. Jill Selkowitch has now filed to get the ca…

    Apple allows bullies to shut down my app

    After having my app in the App Store for years, Apple took it down because of a couple of false complaints. Apple hasn't said that the app breaks any rules, just that all complaint…

    I do need to look a lot more into the whole Community search aspect of Copy Me That. So many fun things that I want to do :)

    How weird, it IS all salmon! :) The front page can have a bit of a theme if someone quickly copies in a lot of similar recipes, for example, if he/she is looking for the best salmo…

    Recipes aren't but images always are. Collections of recipes (such as a cookbook) are also protected.

    There are hardly any unsuccessful results. (Assuming that the page actually contains a recipe.) People have copied recipes from more than 70,000 websites into their recipe boxes. O…

    I don't know about this scraper, but one thing that mine does ( http://www.copymethat.com ) is to "read" the complete page looking for certain word combinations that indicate ingre…

    That's funny! I'm not seeing any pizza recipes now. It shows the latest shared recipes that have images. There are trends, though. One person wrote and complained that vegans were …

    I'm working on this and finding that it's a lot of work (and code) to identify the actual ingredient. Consider "all-purpose sifted flour." That's the same ingredient as "plain flou…

    I made a recipe scraper that doesn't look at the structured (schema) data, but instead "reads" the whole page to detect the recipe. I found that there are too many recipe sites tha…
