COPYRIGHT REMINDER

Hi All

Just thought I'd post a reminder regarding copying and pasting from the various resources available. (Federation Index, Diggers, Pioneers, etc)

The transcript remains their copyright. To respect this, can I ask people do NOT copy and paste from these resources, as they are still protected by copyright laws.

Your own transcriptions from the original images can be made and posted if you have access.

Thanks for all of the help you all give, it is appreciated by many. Thank you also for your support on this matter.

Regards,
Valerie and the Rootschat Team.

Hiya Valerie,

I'm wondering about the copyright situation when photographs are copied from old books printed many years ago. Some of the photos may have been taken by well known photographers who are now dead. The originals may be in the collection in a museum. Who does one approach for permission to post such photos? Should one attend a seance in an effort to contact the photographer through a medium or is there a simpler route.   

All the Best, Chris.

The copyright which would apply to photographs published in a book could well be different to the copyright for the original photograph.  The original photographs would be the copyright of the photographer for a period of years after the death of the photographer.  This is currently 70 years.

However if they were included, with proper permission from the copyright holder of course, in a book which was published some time after they were originally taken, then they could then form part of a different publication or creative work, and could be subject to the copyright of this new work and this could extend from the date of publication of this new work until the copyright period runs out.  Copyright may also have been assigned to the author of this new work.

Potential minefield, isn't it?  Wink

If in doubt, always assume someone owns the copyright!

Best wishes
