Copyright

When posting to the forums, what you write remains your copyright. However, there are certain considerations that you should bear in mind. You are responsible for what you write, and you should not infringe the copyright of others. For the avoidance of doubt, you are allowed to quote short sections from the works of others. It is a Brit-Gen rule that you may not post full scans of any legal document including certificates (birth, marriage and death). It is the nature of forums that people may quote all or part of your message in any reply that they may post to the forum, or in private email messages to others. All messages posted to the British-Genealogy forums are archived and are accessible to other registered users of the system. British-Genealogy does not claim copyright of what you write, but you agree to messages being archived for the future use of other researchers. Messages cannot be removed from the archives of the forums, except in the case of directives from a legal court.

Posting of Illegal Copies of Material

British-Genealogy.com has a zero tolerance policy regarding the posting of illegal copies of material that is either in copyright or which contravenes the license of use. This applies to copies of material posted to the forums, or seen to be being posted in private emails to other users of the system. In particular, please note that when you have a copy of a census page, either from a CD or downloaded from a web site, it is ILLEGAL to make a copy and forward it to someone else. Please read the licence and copyright notice on the source from where you obtained the census image. It will include the words "must not be copied" and "for personal research only". For the avoidance of doubt, this applies to copies of census page images(which are not allowed), and does not apply to census transcriptions (which are allowed). A partial image of a census page, posted as part of a specific query or as an answer to a query is allowed.
