I've been following all of this discussion on copyright, privacy, etc. and wanted to jump in and say one thing. The best way to keep people from posting information on living people is not to give it to them. I'm always very careful about who gets information on those still living because people WILL publish the information that you give them even if you ask them not to. We all know this. I am in the process of preparing a genealogy for publication and have decided not to include living people. I don't believe I should include them without getting permission in writing from each one -- and that is just too big a job! Also, I have discovered, by asking a couple of people to remove information of mine that they posted, that on Ancestry.com what they need to do is ask Ancestry to remove their entire file. Then they must edit out the offending information and repost it. Maybe that will help some of you who want something removed from Ancestry. Sue Susan M.
