Hi Guys

I note that some of you are new to Rootschat - which means that you should have read the terms and conditions recently!

We are not about furious arguments, so perhaps you could all calm down while we wait for the comments of the Copyright Editors - whose opinion I have sought on your behalf.

Thanks

Many thanks for your comments, ladies and gentlemen.

This obviously contentious subject needs proper consideration from the Copyright Team before making any sort of response to the points raised.

However, we would remind everyone to read the guidance on offers and the copyright guidance in general.  It can be found on every county board.

The topic is currently locked.

Many thanks for your patience while the matter is discussed.

The Copyright Team has been asked for their opinion in this matter since one of their roles is to monitor breaches of licence agreements and contraventions of commercial websites terms and conditions.

This debate would seem to be about what constitutes fair dealing or fair use of the material involved.

RootsChat always asks its members to respect and abide by the terms & conditions of each individual source, including family history society publications.  Not all family history societies operate under the same conditions: what may be acceptable to one is not acceptable to another.  All members are asked to ensure that they check any possible limitations on the use of published material before they make any offer.  If a society or other publisher has concerns and contacts us to discuss the matter, or if we ourselves are not happy with the offer, we may ask for it to be withdrawn or remove it ourselves. 

If there is any dispute about the fairness of the limitations imposed by the publisher, it should be discussed with them by RootsChat members themselves: RootsChat will not enter into a debate on this.
