AFAIK, the status of boiler-plate obits (as opposed to staff written obits) has never been adjudicated -- probably for the same reason most museum attorneys advised that Bridgeman not pursue its infringement suit against Corel for using Bridgeman's museum reproductions, i.e. they thought Bridgeman's suit and subsequent appeal would fail under both U.S and British law and they wanted to avoid a written opinion which would and did become common law. Individuals who submit transcriptions or scanned copies of boiler plate obits to the USGenWeb Archives do so under the assumption or belief they are not copyrighted. However, some newspapers have in the past or currently claim copyright. While an individual can make an assumption (right or wrong) as to copyright status, an archive must follow the law which allows archives to make an individual copy for scholarly research so long as the notice required by statute is included. Pat Asher

Exactly - great answer, Karen. I got permission a long time ago. Recently, a new publisher came on board for our local newspaper. Then a copyright notice appeared on the obituaries. So, I called the new publisher and had a nice visit and he told me to keep on going (we transcribe all the current obituaries into our cemetery database). I pointed out to him that this does keep people from bothering the newspaper for copies. We also wait a while before adding the most recent obituaries to the database so that we don't give people a reason not to subscribe to the newspaper. He thanked me for both and we hung up and went about our business. So, rather than agonizing over what is okay and what isn't, call your local newspaper(s) and ask.

Matthew, There is a list for copyright info copyright-request@rootsweb.com The ladies there have an excellent grasp on these laws. If a newspaper is older, over 75 I think, the copyright is expired. I think the copyright laws are intended to keep someone else from profiting from others work but I'd say sub. to that list and ask there Joyce Gaston Reece

You must have missed the part that I called the newspapers.

I assume she is just following the law regarding reproductions by libraries and archives "Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 108: (a) Except as otherwise provided in this title and notwithstanding the provisions of section 106, it is not an infringement of copyright for a library or archives, or any of its employees acting within the scope of their employment, to reproduce no more than one copy or phonorecord of a work, except as provided in subsections (b) and (c), or to distribute such copy or phonorecord, under the conditions specified by this section, if— (1) the reproduction or distribution is made without any purpose of direct or indirect commercial advantage; (2) the collections of the library or archives are (i) open to the public, or (ii) available not only to researchers affiliated with the library or archives or with the institution of which it is a part, but also to other persons doing research in a specialized field; and (3) the reproduction or distribution of the work includes a notice of copyright that appears on the copy or phonorecord that is reproduced under the provisions of this section, or **includes a legend stating that the work may be protected by copyright if no such notice can be found on the copy or phonorecord that is reproduced under the provisions of this section.**" Note the notice does not say the work *is* copyrighted -- just that it *may* be copyrighted. The archive (in this case, the genealogical society), is not qualified to opine on the copyright status of the material that is copied, but they are required to serve notice of that possibility Pat Asher.

So ... then she can have copies but it is okay to scan them just to share to others on the internet via email or archival? I am under the impression that she can't scan them al all for any thing. This is getting confusing and way to complex for a simple task of sharing with others since this is only an obituary being shared with others. Then I am assuming that every person that submitted to the USGenWeb Archive Project is infringing upon the copyright by scanning it and submitting them to the Archive on the internet.

Good morning Matthew, We have over 32,000 obits online. I contacted the newspapers for permission to use them. In every instance I was told "Sure, go ahead, just cite the source." You can see them here: http://www.kmitch.com/Pueblo/obits/obitindex.html So the key is to cite the newspaper they came out of, and you won't have a problem.

Not so many years ago newspaper wrote their own obits. I have written many. Today what has been said is true - although the newspapers do not hesitate to resell them to places which then charge to view them. However, in the past newspapers owned the obits. Thus it depends on when the obit was printed. Modern obits often say "provided by the funeral home" or "provided by the family." In actual usage newspapers generally don't complain about obits including their own. But don't put the obit for a famous person or local prominent person. Those are written in house.

Obituaries are rarely original works produced by the newspaper. They are almost always provided to the paper by the funeral home or by the family and are usually paid for by either the funeral home or the family. I publish three newspapers and we have never written an obituary, nor have we ever been asked for permission to use an obit. The news stories that I write or I pay reporters to write are the only things on which I can claim intellectual property.
