I thought I had understood that there was an agreement with 1837online that prevented FreeBMD using their images for our transcriptions. Have I misunderstood this?

From FreeBMD FAQs: 13 (i) Can I upload records to FreeBMD using Scans accessed from 1837online? No! When individuals sign up to 1837online they agree to terms and conditions which prohibit such use of scans downloaded from 1837online. In consequence, in order to protect both FreeBMD and indivduals from potential legal action, FreeBMD will not accept any transcriptions created from this source. FreeBMD take their responsibility seriously and if we believe that transcriptions uploaded to FreeBMD come from 1837online scans they will be removed. This way we are able to show that we are taking real steps to prevent illegal use of 1837online's scans. ----------- Christopher Richards <cmr1chards@blueyonder.co.uk> wrote: I thought I had understood that there was an agreement with 1837online that prevented FreeBMD using their images for our transcriptions.

Yes. Whilst we cannot transcribe from 1837online, this doesn't prevent us from accepting corrections based on their scans. -- Dave Mayall ---------------------------------------------- This mail sent through http://www.ukonline.net
