There's a little copyright infringement going on there. --- Debbie- Submitters to Rootsweb's WorldConnect program are expected to abide by the RootsWeb AUP which requires that you submit only your own work or public domain information or that you have permission to post if you are posting someone else's work. RootsWeb is responsive to complaints by copyright holders if they can prove there has been infringement. However, most family trees do not contain anything that is copyrightable. Facts cannot be copyrighted and no one owns them--anyone is free to use names, dates, and places.
