Greetings,
I have a lady that wants to do Lookups but is concerned about the
copyright laws. She has just gotten marriage CDs & wants to help other
people since she has gotten so much help from USGenWeb people. Smile.
She asks if it is illegal or does Broderbund know people are doing this?
I'm not sure how to answer her. So, it looks like we both need an answer
on this one. And whether or not they know about it, that doesn't make it
legal.
Are the marriage, birth, death, etc on these CDs put out like companies
like Broderbund considered public domain?
Both of the site I manage had Volunteer Lookups already set up when I
took over the sites, and I have continued with them. I don't do Lookups,
so I don't know how they are done or what all is involved.
Are there guidelines set up for this? Does someone have some insight on
this? Help!
Thanks,
Kim
