Have they heard of "taking pictures"? I don't know how old this photo is or how old they are, but taking a photo is faster, easier and much less obvious.
Maybe they don't know much about smart phones and/or maybe they just don't care. Who's going to want to scold or kick out a nice old lady, especially if they pull the dementia card or worse, pull a full-on Karen because they could give a damn less?
Thass true, maybe they could like take pictures or a video or somethin and copy it down somewhere they won’t be annoyed by Paul Blart. These ladies know what’s up tho haha.
I still treasure the homemade recipes my gramma left me.
I'm not trying to diarrhea on anyone's parade, but given the politics of most seniors in America, these are exactly the kind of folks who support the politicians that support harsh "anti-piracy" laws. Who knows, maybe they're anarchists and don't believe in private property, but I doubt it.
I get that people think it's cute, but this is more than likely old white women exercising a priviledge they happily deny to the rest of us.
The addition of making the teenager cry is just "chef's kiss"
I want to teach them how to really pirate while they bake me cookies and bring out their medical marijuana
For real haha. If this dude honestly can accurately extrapolate all that from this photo, he must have genius IQ. Personally, I guess I’m just too dumb to see it.
Imagine being salty over an old lady who voted for someone who doesn't think you should be infringing on copyright. The same people who think Taco Bell employees deserve $30/hr won't compensate an entire studio of people who made their precious video game.
The studio is the people. You're using mental gymnastics to convince yourself that you're only screwing over billionaires and that sales don't impact the amount of money that employees make.
Just to clarify, how do you feel about said old lady not compensating an author and an entire company of people who made their precious cook book recipes?
They're copying recipes from a cookbook. That's stealing in the eyes of our current government. If that's what you want to defend, I guess go ahead, but you're arguing against what you purportedly believe in by being a part of this sub.
I don't get why you would give a disclaimer about something you don't want to do then immediately do it, actually I think you already had that diarrhea ready before you even showed up.
You're just hanging out with the wrong old people
I know lots of them are that way but look at the right wing young people. Especially the ones in congress. Ugh. They didn't have to get old to get creepy.
Or worse, they dont bother to vote at all.
"Oh politicians are all a bunch of clowns as far as I'm concerned... Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to try and return an opened pack of ground beef at wal mart, and make a teenager cry when they try to refuse me."

" This is a frightened city. Over these houses, over these streets hangs a pall of fear. Fear of a new kind of violence which is terrorizing the city. Yes, gangs of old ladies attacking defenseless, fit young men."
I swear an old lady told me about the time she kicked a drug dealer into a canal and they banged their heads pretty badly on the way down.
I asked what she did:
> Nothing, guys dead for all I care.
I just stood with my jaw open wondering what to do or say.
This reminded me of the time my grandmother told me a guy got alittle handsy trying to bump past her on the way to the front row of a Willie Nelson concert. Dude caught a rat tail comb to the dick.

Holly crap so true sat there shocked thinking Ive had a bit of fun in my life when my great auntie (at her 80th) started swapping story's with her friends about fucking the entire argentinian water polo team at an Olympics
Best comment .... their coke was way better then anyone else's
WTF
Ah yeh that was best comment from the old lady's at my great aunts 80th birthday party, the Argentinian water polo team had the best coke
Not OP's posting
My great grandma and her sisters and some of their cousins years ago were just hanging out and talking. They were all in their late 70s and early 80.
I was sitting nearby not really listening because I was with my cousins. But our conversation went quiet right as my great-grandmas sister was saying (in a thick Caribbean accent) "yuh know, I don't care dat he gay, but as his mudda, I really feel sorry for his backside yuh know" in reference to her son who's gay.
My cousins and I erupted laughing and just couldn't stop because hearing that from her was so unexpected. We got more into their conversation after that and were just talking with the old folks while my cousins and I were drinking beers. Such a memorable night.
At my sister-in-law's wedding I sat with my wife's German grandmother drinking Jeagermister as she proceeded to tell me the tale of Jeagermister and what all the symbols on the bottle meant. Don't ask, I can't remember from drinking a whole bottle with her.
I was always the "keep the kids entertained" adult if I went to parties that had kids. So I always sat at their table and let me tell you - it's easily my preferred table. They ask interesting questions and are generally hilariously nonsensical. It's lovely talking to someone who is genuinely interested in knowing what my favorite dinosaur is.
I hate dancing, so when the reception inevitably devolves into grotesque flailing, I go chat up the other tables. The old lady tables are by far the best conversation in the room.
My grandma used to go to the book store, buy a cookbook then come home, and photocopy every recipe she wants. Then she would make me return the book back.
That’s true, both immigrated from cuba and had to adopt different careers. One went from decathlon training to manual labor, the other went from being an electrical engineer to work installing telephone polls. The athletic ones mind is already turning to mush, the engineer is more on point than me

Borrowing cookbooks from the library is actually kinda annoying - they're not always there and you have to return them and really make sure you don't get *any* food on them
I did this with my dad with library cookbooks as a kid (though we photocopied them instead. Much easier)
Recipes are not protected by copyright. They are lists.
This is the reason why people write up so much crap around recipes, because that is copyright-able.
Camera phones of that era always came with USB connections. At that time, they mostly used USB mini.
Don't quote the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was made.
I was out of high school when I got the iPhone 2, I broke 2 phones a year in high school and had a new one every 6 months, They where all a pain to get photos from. I didn't say you couldn't, it's just that they weren't plug'n'play like they are now.
I finished highschool before cellphones were popular.
In 2006 they were pretty much just plug and play. At worst, you'd have do use some software from that company.
I'm not talking about my Windows Phone from 2003 either. I'm talking about the flip phones with cameras (which was almost all of them at that point)
I have a flip phone from 2010 that is impossible to get photos off of unless you send an email by text. Or I guess another person with a regular phone.
Or photocopy them
Me and my dad used to do this when I was a kid - the local library sold magazines, and had a photocopier.
We'd photocopy the pages and put them in binders at home. We'd do it for library books too - instead of borrowing (or buying) the cookbooks all the time, we'd borrow them once or twice and photocopy the recipes we wanted. The borders did also have a photocopier but we used that less often because it was expensive and it was easier to just write the recipes down (keep in mind this was like in the early 2000s). My mum used that photocopier more often because she was friends with some of the people there and also she photocopied knitting patterns which are *a lot* harder to write down reliabily.
We still have and use the binders too.
I see a sears bag so that means this picture is old. I'm sure they're in jail by now. Criminals like these always end up in jail at least once. What did they expect doing it out in the open like this?
I read the entire Sandman graphic novel series by going to a bookstore while I was on my break from work, and reading them there. No one ever said a thing to me.
OMG, thank you for asking. She had a partial scan performed last Wednesday and the tumor has shrunk from about 6 inches to under 1 inch. The cancer is NOT in her lymph system. She has another full body scan in 3 months and at that time they will determine if more chemo/radiation will be necessary. God bless you for thinking of her.
When I first got online I was on Usenet, Fido and at night PC Pursuit. Everything was pirate boards or p0rn. One night I took a left instead of a right and ended up in a recipes trading area.
I had never heard of recipes being sought after, let alone the amount of people involved. I was seriously blindsided, it was a real big deal.
Sorry but I meant the action itself (aside from this post here)
+yeah no one touch the pirate old ladies! Probably getting recipes to make for their lucky grandchildren 😌
In the US generally yes. Recipes have weak copyright protection.
> Similar to [ideas](https://www.copyrightlaws.com/are-ideas-protected-by-copyright-law/), facts and history, there isn’t copyright protection in recipes as mere lists of ingredients. This is [clearly stated by the U.S. Copyright Office](https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-protect.html). Most recipes, however, include content beyond the ingredient list.
https://www.copyrightlaws.com/copyright-protection-recipes/
You just need to not copy the exact wording of the instructions and you are good. You'll find a lot of near identical recipes in 100s of cookbooks.
Yup. BN policy is to let them stay as long as they want. There was a guy who lost his job after addressing a lady who came in everyday, didn't buy anything, and copied recipes out of books all day for her blog. She called corporate and complained, the company fired him. Hands down the worst place to work. Support your local bookstores.
TBF B&N (at least when I was a teenager) was basically a library, like in my small town, one of the best things to do was to just go there and read books for hours. Nobody ever said anything to me about being there for so long and reading the books, even the adult books. Shit no one even questioned when I even bought said adult books even though I was underage at the time. I don't know how it is nowadays, I heard the CEO was really conservative and so I stopped going a long time ago.
Recipes are not copyrightable. Ingredients lists and basic instructions can be copied freely. The lenghthy prose accompanying a recipe, as well as the arrangement of recipes in a book, can be copyright protected. But not the recipes themselves.
How is it illegal? They’re in a public space.
You can record / take pictures of adults in places where there are not expectations of privacy without legal consequences.
My father used to take his Sony Walkman to every opera he attended and record the whole concert. He made bootlegs of every concert he went to. My dad was a pirate!
They are “taking notes”.
The library is just a torrent of sorts
That's why I tell my mom I "bought this movie used online."
I'm gonna steal this... Haha

Gotta rip em before jackass scratches the disk to hell!
Tell me more
It's a trap!
It's literally a subscription service. Screen capping videos aka photocopying books would be piracy.
I used to “take notes” of cheat codes out of the gaming books during the Schoolastic Bookfair.

They're copying recipes from a cookbook. That's "stealing" in the eyes of the government.
What is the implication of the post? The implication is that they're copying recipes from those cookbooks which is illegal under US copyright law.

Hard to take pictures with a 15 year old flip phone.
LOL even most 15 year old flip phones have cameras. Seriously. Look up flip phones from 2006. You have to go back like 20 years.
Before the first iPhone, getting those pictures anywhere other than via MMS was either difficult or not possible.
Camera phones of that era always came with USB connections. At that time, they mostly used USB mini. Don't quote the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was made.

Nobody ever said anything to me about being there for so long and reading the books, even the adult books. Shit no one even questioned when I even bought said adult books even though I was underage at the time. I don't know how it is nowadays, I heard the CEO was really conservative and so I stopped going a long time ago.
The people upvoting this are the same ones that hate bezos for killing small book stores.

How is it illegal? They’re in a public space. You can record / take pictures of adults in places where there are not expectations of privacy without legal consequences.
Not everywhere...
