    3. HI RAYMOND THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING ME. I A NOT SURE WHETHER THIS IS AN ISSUE YOU WANT TO PURSUE BUT GIVEN RECENT EVENTS I FELT IT ONLY RIGHT TO GET IN CONTACT WITH YOU. THE LINK TO MY SITE IS BELOW. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~deadsearch/ I HAVE A HUSBAND AND WIFE CONTACT WHO LIVE IN WALES AND WHO TAKE PHOTOS FOR MY WEBSITE (I AM IN ADELAIDE). THE DONATING OF PHOTOS WAS THEIR OFFER TO ME SOME TIME AGO BECAUSE I HELPED THEM OUT WITH RESEARCH AND PHOTOS. ONLY A FEW DAYS AGO A GUY BY THE NAME OF BRETT WILLIAMS WHO LIVES IN AUSTRALIA CONTACTED THEM TO GET A COUPLE OF PHOTOS, THROUGH THE "FIND A GRAVE WEBSITE", OF WHICH HE IS ALSO A CONTRIBUTOR, (LINK BELOW) BECAUSE JACKIE AND HER HUSBAND DO VOLUNTEER WORK FOR THIS WEBSITE. IT WAS ONLY WHEN THEY LOOKED AT A COUPLE OF HIS UPLOADED PHOTOS DID THEY REALISE THAT HE HAD NOT ONLY TAKEN SOME CHURCH PHOTOS FROM MY WEBSITE, WHICH WERE IN FACT PHOTOS THAT JACKIE AND HERSELF HAD TAKEN BUT HE HAS ALSO TAKEN PHOTOS HEAPS FROM YOUR WEBSITE, UPLOADED AND CLAIMED AS HIS OWN. JACKIE SENT HIM AN EMAIL AND CONFRONTED HIM ABOUT HIS USE OF HER PHOTOS WITHOUT PERMISSION OF WHICH HE SENT A LOVELY REPLY LISTED HERE To: Jackie Allen (jackie-peter@live.co.uk) I can not remove the photographs myself, they have no apparatus to do this. Please contact FAG to return your precious photos, as I do not want to stand in the way of your blatant grab for cash on the genealogy scene. Everyone else is doing it, right, so you might as well turn a buck too. For your info I have helped a lot of people find lost relatives through this site and this within itself is its own reward, I do not operate on a commercial basis, and like some not craving attention or a sainthood. Hope all works out well for you, as I'm sure the constant air of passive aggressiveness, obsessive compulsive behavior and pedantic ramblings in your household must be a treat to all that know you. To quote from Oscar Wilde, who may or may not have said: No good deed goes unpunished. JACKIE AND PETER WERE DONATING THEIR PHOTOS AND SERVICES, FREE OF CHARGE TO THIS WEBSITE LONG BEFORE THEY STARTING SENDING THEM TO ME, AND NOW BECAUSE OF LACK OF INTEREST FROM THE ADMINISTERS OF THAT WEBSITE OVER THIS ISSUE, JACKIE IS IN THE PROCESS OF REMOVING SOME 3000 PHOTOS THAT WERE DONATED FOR THEIR USE. http://www.findagrave.com/ THE BELOW PASSAGE IS TAKEN FROM THEIR WEBSITE IN RELATION TO PHOTOS Can I add a photo that I found on a different website? No. Please do not add photos to Find A Grave that you have acquired from another source. Photos fall under copyright protection laws, even photographs used in obituaries. In general, if you did not take the photo yourself, you should not post it. The only exceptions to this are photos that are old enough to have fallen into the public domain and photos for which you have received written consent from the copyright holder. [Top] SO AS YOU CAN SEE HE HAS ACTUALLY VIOLATED HIS MEMBERSHIP AS WELL. THE BELOW IS ALSO FROM THEIR WEBSITE. Someone posted my copyrighted photos! How can I get them removed or get them properly credited? It is a violation of Find A Grave policy to post such photos. There is a link to this policy on every single content page at the Find A Grave website. As you probably know, having a policy is one thing, but enforcing it can be exceedingly difficult. Once an image is posted anywhere on the internet, many people believe it is 'free game' for them to take and use as they wish. Physically (or electronically) preventing this is an impossible challenge because anything that can be viewed on a screen can be captured and reused. That leaves us with a policy, which we clearly state and enforce when violations are brought to our attention. Users who have posted copyrighted material will be sent a warning. Repeat offenders of our copyright policy will have their account suspended. If you find any copyright abuses posted by Find A Grave users, please report them by sending us an email with a link to the photo(s). We respect copyright laws as well as the ethics of 'giving credit where credit is due'. Please let us know if you would prefer to have your photos removed or simply transferred to your Find A Grave account. If you prefer to have them transferred please be sure to include the email address associated with your account if it is different from the address you are writing from (don't forget to include a link to the photo). If you do not have a Find A Grave account and would like one, we can create one for you and transfer the photo credits to the new account. Email: info@findagrave.com [Top] I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THIS MAN BECAUSE HE HAS ONLY TAKEN 2 OR 3 OF MY ACTUAL WEBPAGE LISTED PHOTOS THAT WERE DONATED BY JACKIE AND I WILL PROBABLY JUST GET A LOVELY EMAIL AS WELL. NOT THAT BOTHERS ME IN ANY WAY. I HAVE NEVER LINKED MY PHOTOS TO THE ONLINE INDEXES LIKE YOU, FOR THIS VERY REASON. I HAVE NOT LOOKED AT ALL OF THE CEMETERIES OF YOURS. JACKIE SEARCHED AND SAID THAT HE HAD USED A COUPLE FROM WHAT SHE HAD FOUND. PERHAPS YOU SHOULD CHECK YOURSELF. KNOWN CEMETERIES OF YOURS THAT HE HAS TAKEN ARE AMBY, BARRINGTON, BELLTREES, ALLMAN HILL. I HAVE LOOKED AT A COUPLE AND THEY ARE DEFINITELY FROM YOUR WEBSITE. I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO DISCREDIT THIS GUY ONLINE BY POSTING AN EMAIL ON THE AUSTRALIAN CEMETERIES ROOTSWEB SITE, BUT THOUGHT I WOULD CONTACT YOU FIRST AND ALSO TO BE GUIDED AS TO WHAT YOU THINK SHOULD HAPPEN HERE.
