Gravestone Photograph
Thank You for sending me the info I requested and taking the time to do so. You said you were having trouble with sending attachments in emails. Would it not be easier to just allow the Gravestone Photographs to be viewed automatically when requested? You could only allow those photographs to be shown ONLY through such sites as ancestry.ca/com/uk or other research sites where a person has to join and pay to use. Just a thought. Have A Good Day. And Thanks again.
Thank you for your suggestion.
In the early days of the GPR, I did do this and allow people access to the higher quality images but people just disregarded the copyright issues. Even now, when I specifically specify that images are just for personal use they are published publicly on the internet infringing the photographer's copyright.
Publishing GPR on Ancestry sites, if they are made public, means that anyone can copy an image and use it however they may and disregards the photographer's copyright.
By default, volunteers give the GPR the right to send copies of their photos to people who have requested them for their own personal use.
You can add your own comments to the above.
