Web Content Sharing Policy

Printed Materials

You may physically print material to share with your friends, a work or church group, etc. in limited numbers, provided that you clearly state “Courtesy of www.pilotinglife.com” at the top or bottom of EACH page (in a header or footer), and provided of course that you do not sell the material for any fee or compensation.

Sharing Recipes Online

  1. If you wish to share one of our recipes, write your own introduction (or review) and then provide credit and a link to the original recipe. A mere list of ingredients is not copyright protected, but the creative, expressive content and words of the recipe are.
  2. If you make slight changes to a recipe, it’s still someone else’s recipe. The guidelines are the same as in #1 above, but of course you may add your additional comments to highlight the changes.
  3. If you adapt a recipe and do in fact make significant modifications, you can publish your version (the entire recipe) but you need to give credit and a link back to the source (if available online).

See this page for an example of how we handled this for a recipe we adapted:

http://pilotinglife.com/crockpot-chicken-tomato-soup/

Sharing of links is appreciated and encouraged! You may share a link back to content on the site so long as proper credit is given. You may include a short (1-3 sentence maximum) excerpt or write your own summary or introduction, but do not copy and paste article content beyond that.

Example of acceptable sharing: “Last night we made some chicken in the slow cooker using a recipe from Piloting Life. The kids loved it! Check it out at http://pilotinglife.com/crockpot-chicken-tomato-soup/.”

The above policy is intended to allow occasional sharing, however, regular and repeated scraping of content, even if only excerpts and links, is not permitted.

Except as outlined above or with express written permission, DO NOT

  1. Copy and paste content and publish it anywhere (online, in print, on social media, etc.);
  2. Slightly change the wording of articles and publish anywhere (online, in print, on social media, etc.);
