Nancy Caruthers Karns said: Hi, since this topic resurfaced I'll add my two cents. I'm from Harrisburg, Pa. and there was an article in the local Patriot News dated 8/1/2011 talking about a laser scanning project of the Mt. Calvary Cemtery belonging to the Hbg. Catholic Diocese in a joint venture by Historic American Landscape Surveys, the National Park Service, and a local firm Land Logistics Group. I'm sure that when the Diocese contracted with these groups for this joint project/venture the cemetery information became proprietary and no longer public information. Unfortunately, this probably means that down the road this cemetery info and probably others will appear somewhere on a paid/ subscription site. I would be curious if the woman that got in trouble for taking and posting the photograph was informed about the laser scanning thing. =========================== I'm just not sure they can legally claim the information on the tombstones as their property. They can own their presentation of the information, but I do not believe they own the info itself. Anyone else could repost, as long as they did the work themselves and didn't just copy the original work. There was a 1991 Supreme Court case where the court ruled that a phone company had no ownership of the info in it's own directory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_v._Rural Brian Cartwright Johnstown
