I have just learned that Ancestry.com <http://ancestry.com/> has incorporated people's personal Web pages into their Web site's search. This includes copyrighted material, in my case brief biographies of ancestors. In addition to my biographies, I am finding old photos that are on my Web site, photos that others have graciously shared with me. Now, I think that Ancestry might argue that they are simply acting as a search engine. The results are cached pages. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to tell the URL of the original site. To see what I am talking about: 1. Go to www.ancestry.com 2. Enter a name. 3. In the results under "Birth, Marriage, and Death" records, click on "Internet Biographical Collection." Even this title implies ownership by Ancestry. If you are not an Ancestry member or are not logged in, the search results will be locked. In other words, Ancestry is charging for search results that are free on other search engines and implying, I think, that they somehow have ownership. In the sources shown, the name of the owner of the Web site or the author of the material is not given. The only way that you would know is if it happened to be on the cached page. Is this legal? I certainly don't think that it is ethical. I am very angry. Sara Binkley Tarpley
