I had heard by way of another list that the Ohio Historical Society were to expand the number of death certificates that a person could come and use, see, and copy at their library. So, the curious person that I am , I wrote to the OHS, archive services and asked if this expansion would include the online death index... GOOD NEWS, within a few weeks you will be able to retrieve death certificate information from the online death certificates up to the year 1944. What wonderful news. I just received an email back today from the head of archival services. Cheryl --------------------------------- Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo! Netrospective: 100 Moments of the Web

Ward, Jr., died at her residence, on Front street, Gallipolis, recently of pleuro-pneumonia. Adam Ruble's saloon, Swanson's store house and an ice-house belonging to the saloon property, but rented by J. E. Fargo, were destroyed by fire at Cheshire, one day last week.

Annie Marie, his mother, is six weeks older, but looks ten years younger. James and Alexander Brock, who about two years ago were sent to the penitentiary for the burglary of Silverman & Co.'s store at Gallipolis, were indicted at the present term of court for burglary of Wall Bros.' cigar store and John B.

This was sent to me by Adam Salisbury, a friend of mine who is also an attorney. He asked that I forward it to you... Hello List, I just wanted to spend a few moments and try to clear up this copyright question before it gets too out of hand. First, copyright law in the United States gives the author of a work certain protections for a limited time. In general, the "author" of a "work" is the only person or entity who can: 1.. reproduce the copyrighted work in copies or phonorecords 2.. prepare derivative works based upon the copyrighted work 3.. distribute copies or phonorecords 4.. to perform the copyrighted work publicly 5. to display the copyrighted work publicly 6. to perform the copyrighted work publicly by means of a digital audio Now then, it seems that some of you might be confusing the nature of the "work" that is at issue here. What we are discussing is the compilation of certain newspaper articles into a specific form, at a specific time and place. In general, copyright lasts only for a specified period of time. Newspaper articles from the 1800's are now beyond this statutory period, meaning that the author no longer has the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, etc... BUT, when a genealogist prepares a book of data that is taken from another source the genealogist is creating a derivative work which gains its own copyright. Because of the work that the genealogist (or any other compiler) does, that NEW work gains its own copyright. In "legal-speak" the genealogist or compiler is now the holder of the copyright if her work amounts to a compilation: For purposes of copyright law a compilation is a work formed by the collection and assembling of preexisting materials or of data that are selected, coordinated, or arranged in such a way that the resulting work as a whole constitutes an original work of authorship. Because Connie, and the other hardworking people at the historical society, is the author who decides which articles to publish, how the articles are arranged, and how their distribution is coordinated, her "work" with these articles constitutes a new copyright. Her authorship is the source of the copyright and she now holds all the rights associated with copyright law with one possible exception. Because these transcriptions come over the listserve, the right to distribute may be in doubt (as one previous email noted). But, you should all note, that these transcriptions may NOT be reproduced or copied without the consent of the author (in this case the transcriber) for publication or sale in any form. I don't see a problem distributing the transcriptions to others on a different listserve. BUT, any activity that results in a "commercial advantage" (i.e. for profit) is still the sole right of the author. One important exception to note to copyright law is the doctrine of "fair use". Fair use allows someone who is not the author to use a work in a limited way. One example of fair use is the use of a work for educational purposes. One may use a work protected by copyright for educational purposes (such as using part of a transcription in a personal family history for LIMITED publication and distribution , and giving credit to the transcriber) without infringing upon the rights of the copyright holder. In closing, I would caution all of you that copyright infringement is a very serious FEDERAL crime, punishable by incarceration and restoration of lost profits to the author. If you can't do the transcription yourself, please respect the work of others by asking their permission before you choose to plagiarize. Further questions on this topic are welcome, as I would hate to see those of you who contribute so much become discouraged because of certain worthless individuals. -Adam Salisbury- For answers to specific questions: To Debbie - No, MyFamily.com could not profit from anything you send over the listserve. You'll note that even on the most outrageous pay-to-view websites (like ancestry.com) the portions of the website like the user-submitted family trees and the message boards are usually free to browse by non-subscribers. One way ancestry has started to get around these pesky copyright laws is with their new "world-family tree" service. What it does is to make a new compilation (described above) out of the family trees that users submit. Then they charge you to view it. Very tricky. To Martin - You are right that the "list" does not own any of the material that we read on the listserve. The author of the messages has the copyright on the content of their messages IF that content is protectable. The law draws a distinction between the simple everyday communications that we submit to this public forum, and the material that a transcriber works to prepare and submits for us with the intention that we use it in a limited way only. So, yes, myfamily.com could distribute anything on the list to another part of their website (so long as they don't make a profit on it). To Clif - Just because a transcriber posts the information to the listserve, it does not mean he or she has relinquished any of their rights as the holder of the copyright. --------------------------------- Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday!

Thanks for your response. It was very useful. As I stated, I do not have any burning desire to use any of those articles, even if they are "public domain." I just couldn't piece together the part that dealt with being the property of a particular list. On the other hand, I strongly support the courtesy involved in giving credit for someone's work. I also support the idea of paying a researcher for their time and honoring their work. I personally think that was the point here. Give credit where it is due and I believe that it was due in this case. Thanks again for the response. Clif Hinds __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Clif, I am just including what we have discussed on county board in Illinois and this might be of use to you regarding this question also. Remember I am neither supporting or against anything here just submitting information to the list so that people may make an educated decision regarding topic at hand. Carrol ***************************** An article about copyright laws, published in that same lovely magazine a few months back (Family Tree Magazine). It came as a bit of a surprise to me, thinking anything within 75 years was covered. Not so. ---------------- Works published before Jan. 1, 1923 are in the public domain - anyone can use, adapt or copy a published work freely. Works published between 1923 and 1963 were protected for 28 years - but the copyright could be renewed for 47 years, then extended for another 20. If the copyright wasn't renewed, the work is in the public domain. [The article notes that] about 85 percent of works published during this period aren't protected anymore. If a work was published between 1964 and 1977, the copyright lasts a total of 95 years. Any published or unpublished work created on or after Jan. 1, 1978 is protected for the life of the creator plus 70 years. A work created before Jan. 1, 1978 and published between that date and Dec. 31, 2002 is protected for the life of the creator plus 70 years or until Dec. 31, 2047, whichever is greater. It's easiest to assume that anything published within the past 75 years is protected. [End of article] --------- Easiest to assume, yes, but 85% is a pretty large amount to just say, "oh well.... it's protected" about. No, there isn't any way to check if it's been renewed. **(this is regarding Illinois material that we volunteers have transcribed)** The fact of the matter is that many of the types of books and newspapers we transcribe from are no longer protected. For history books published after 1928 for example - odds are that no one renewed the copyright past its original 28 years, and they often don't have an individual author - only a publishing company, many out of business now anyway. Also, any government-issued or government-sponsered work is free to use no matter when it was published - which is the case of the Illinois State Historical Society Journals I transcribed recently. They state right on the front page that they're printed by the authority of the State of Illinois. Those are mine and my ancestors' tax dollars being used to publish those puppies, so I'll be transcribing more of those when I get the time. And there's exceptions to the law that lets you directly copy small portions of a copyrighted material, as long as you cite your source when using items. If the individual who originally wrote it complains, take it down. So what to do? If it's from the 1930's-40's go ahead and use it. Odds are the copyright expired and was not renewed. If the individual who originally wrote it complains, take it down. From the 1950's and 60's, you probably shouldn't use it, (unless it's government-sponsored or published) Hope this helps .... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Clif Hinds" <hindsclif@yahoo.com> To: <OHGALLIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 11:49 AM Subject: [OHGALLIA-L] Copyright Law > > The list has received several messages that begins as follows: > > > > These pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or > > presentation by any other persons or organizations. > > They are for individual research ONLY. > > They will remain the property of the OHGALLIA list serve and may > > NOT be FORWARDED on to any second party or group.

The way I read this, once one submits a message to the list one has granted the license to MyFamily.com to distribute it anywhere within it's properties as it wishes. So the attempt to limit it to one list is fruitless. Marty Cassidy

Clif, The statement relates to the TRANSCRIPTIONS that have been posted and the WORK involved. Apparently, some "unindustrious" individuals are taking things that have been posted/transcribed and trying to make a profit on other's labors. So the statement does not apply to the original work, but the labor that resulted in these particular transcriptions. Use for individual/family works is not impacted, it is the unlawful selling of these items for profit. That is how it was explained to me.

I would love to visit Blennerhassett again Mary. My hope is that this will be the summer I get to come to Gallia County again, then I'll travel over to W.Va. to visit family and make a side trip there. I thought it was lovely, and could so imagine that mansion in such a place. Debra Mary Jean wrote: Debra, You need to go back there to visit if at all possible. The State of West Virginia has made the area into a State Park and has been able to collect some of the originals. There is a museum there also. You take a boat to the island from Parkersburg. It is a great days trip. Around that area many people know about it. School children know about it also and use it for history projects. My granddaughter won first prize in state history projects with her Blennerhassett project. Much history to be gathered there. You can get a lot of web sites by typing in and searching Blennerhassett. More has been done since I was there a number of years ago. Mary Jean Hall

Wow! That was great Lois! I really loved my visit to that island, and bought the history book they were selling at the time (that was 20 years ago). Does anyone know if they ever got to building on the island? I think it is a very unique place and a whole lot more attention should be made to it. Debra
