I've been asked for advice about the posting of obituaries to the GenConnect boards and the concern about copyright. A specific example is can an obit that's only 10 years old be posted? >> Hi, We had someone post about 40 obits to the GenConnect boards. We planned on pulling them off. But contacted the newspaper and they gave us permission! So I am now going thru each one and putting a statement that it is reprinted with permission. I know this does not answer your copyright question, but just letting you know what we did. Diane Payne
