How do you think that these State Agency's receive there money if it is not through the tax payers, even if it is a historical preservation and I would say they all get money allotted to them through the state. The tax payers money is at work. State Agencies are Government Federal or otherwise. -----Original Message----- From: tttp-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tttp-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of W David Samuelsen Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2012 12:40 PM To: tttp@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TTTP] Another copyright question still copyrighted.

Yep, this is right Marrie. Tax supported not copywritable. Waiting for any court to find otherwise.
