Once again the genealogists have risen in support of one of their own. I can imagine that Beverley's work has saved many people a lot of time and expense with their research. How much simpler it might have been if she had obtained permission from the library when she planned this project. With a library book you are entitled to photocopy a few pages or at most 10% legally without falling foul of copyright laws. When an individual researches in the library and copies an individual or families records it is presumed to be for their own use. No infringement. However, wholesale copying appears to be another kettle of fish and there is always the likelihood of being accused of breaching copyright. [aside from that serious issue do any other aging members of this list find they are slipping back into using the figures of speech and colloquialisms of their youth or is it just me?] Shirley -----Original Message----- From: new-zealand-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:new-zealand-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Olwyn Whitehouse Sent: Saturday, 12 April 2014 1:25 a.m. To: new-zealand Subject: [nz] nz] Church Register cards from Christchurch City Library -
