Source: In November 2010, Cooks Source magazine was at the center of an Internet tornado after it was found that the magazine had stolen a writer's article without permission.

Cooks Source - what does it mean?
When someone steals something of yours, then expects you to thank them for it.
"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... If you took offence and are unhappy, I am sorry, but you as a professional should know that the article we used written by you was in very bad need of editing, and is much better now than was originally. Now it will work well for your portfolio. For that reason, I have a bit of a difficult time with your requests for monetary gain... We put some time into rewrites, you should compensate me! I never charge young writers for advice or rewriting poorly written pieces, and have many who write for me... ALWAYS for free!" -- letter to blogger Monica Gaudio over the theft of her article from the thief
Monica... ya dun been cook sourced.

Cooks Source - slang
Verb. To take private property without permission, (esp. written and intellectual), remove any inherent value under the delusion that they are making it "better," and pass it off as one's own for personal gain without bothering to obscure the real source.
When caught cooks sourcing, a person then becomes unreasonably arrogant, demands compensation for orchestrating the screw-over, and claims professional expertise on applicable cyber laws while demonstrating that they actually have less expertise than a teenage boy who just discovered there are things other than porn on the internet.

My neighbor tried to cooks source my champion show dog. He stole Muffy out of my yard and started walking her around the neighborhood, right past my house. Then I received an invitation to the dog show, and a bill for the vet that spayed her! You should have heard him try to Griggs his way out of it: "Honestly, the dog was outside so it was public domain. You should be thanking me - I fixed her."
