A magazine accused of publishing a blogger's story without
permission has seen a dramatic rise in the number of its Facebook
friends, although they're not all that friendly.

The tale of writer Monica Gaudio href="http://illadore.livejournal.com/30674.html">hit the Web on
Wednesday after she reported that her story, href="http://godecookery.com/twotarts/twotarts.html">"A Tale of Two
Tarts," was apparently lifted and published by the print magazine href="http://cookssource.com/index.html">Cooks Source with her
byline, but without her knowledge or any compensation. After tracking
down the editor at the magazine, Gaudio asked for an apology on
Facebook and in the magazine, as well as a $130 donation to the
Columbia School of Journalism.

Instead, she said she received a rather unexpected response from the
editor, Judith Griggs, quoted in-part below:

"But honestly Monica, the Web is considered 'public domain' and you
should be happy we just didn't "lift" your whole article and put
someone else's name on it! It happens a lot, clearly more than you are
aware of, especially on college campuses, and the workplace.
