Don't get wrong idea! Read this one instead: http://www.desnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,135007287,00.html? the fine line: "illegally available". That is where the Tanners ran afoul. Once the LDS Church get it done - they will to to those other places using their country's copyright laws to take them off line. Rootsweb observe the very same laws the LDS is following. Copyrighted materials are not accepted on Rootsweb without permission of the owners. The LDS Church's Family History Department has a large team of volunteers checking the websites submitted to them for linking to their Familysearch.org and there are very good number of Rootsweb sites already linked from Familysearch.org site and there are increasing number of Rootsweb sites have links to Familysearch.org. Again, the buzzword is "illegally obtained". If it was government's materials obtained illegally - chances are higher for confiscation of computers and whatnot. Not LDS - they aren't interested in confiscating computers. In fact it is a federal offense to use copyrighted materials without permission. This bring the FBI into the act. I know because my former employer had the FBI after one copyright infringment offender and shut the offender down before the case ever got to the federal court. W.
