Today’s Sunday Telegraph reports that a hundred popular recipes by the Naked Chef Jamie Oliver have been compiled into a fake book which has been emailed to millions of people worldwide, to the consternation of Oliver’s publishers Penguin. Oliver’s first four books have sold more than six million copies, earning him more than £6m, but his 30,000 books sales a week may be dented by the fake, The Naked Chef 2, which is a painstaking compilation of his previously published recipes. Penguin suspects the lavishly illustrated email fake has been cobbled together by someone with a grudge against either Oliver or Penguin itself. Says Robert Lands, a media law specialist at Finers Stephens Innocent: “In theory the publishers could sue for damages … The minimum they could ask for is the value of the book multiplied by how many people it was sent to”. But first the villain must be found and that is not so easy, where “spoofing” techniques can be used to camouflage the identity of an email’s sender.

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
