Hi All, I think it would be interesting to see what Robin and Adler would do if someone threatened or actually started a lawsuit against them. There are quotes a many in her book taken from the Internet with names changed. She even has a quote in her book as to why the names are changed. My thoughts are in { }. " A Note on Names The selections of quotes that appear clusrered throughout the text are those of real mothers, and in some cases, fathers. All those I interviewed are identified by psuedonyms to preserve their anonymity, because to many of my respondents the decision to bottlefeed was a highly intimate, even agonizingly personal decision {I have yet to find a last name used , so there was no reason to change the first name, IMHO}. When I cite a message posted publicly on an electronic forum I have also changed the names of the message-poster {so you don't have to give attribution and so the person can't tell you you can't use their words}, to be evenhanded in the treatment of all my sources {No, to be sure that the person doesn't try to sue you for plagerism}. Only those writers, medical experts, or other professional opinion-givers who specifically requested to have their words creditied to them are identified by name in this book.{I found only 1.}" (Quoted from Bottlefeeding Without Guilt, page 31, author Peggy Robin) It is my suspicion that the majority of the people who were quoted don't even know that they were quoted. And, unless they kept copies of all their e-mail, they couldn't prove that they wrote those words even if they wanted to, so Robin feels that she has nothing to fear. It also seems to me that she and her hubby like to see things in their own way, regardless of how things, such as the law regarding using things from the internet, really are. They will continue to plagorize and steal quotes as long as they want until someone sues them for it. Here on Lactnet we have to be careful about what we say and how we say it regarding a particular product, or else we risk being sued. I think it is high time that people who steal quotes without permission feel the sting of the law! Wish she had taken one of mine! I'd have had fun with that!
