I would be interested in knowing who owns the intellectual property rights to
Tucker's History of Randolph County, 1882. Is this publication public domain?
I know that the Randolph County Historical and Genealogical Society pays to
have this book printed and sells it to the public to help support their
endeavors. If you are publically publishing someone else's intellectual
property without their permission you are liable for violation of
intellectual property law.
I call this question to the attention of Tim Singleton the Randolph County
list administrator and Ms. Morris. Perhaps the intellectual property rights
to this particular publication should be established before any further
information is disseminated to the public.
