What are the copyright issues involved?

Bloggers and potential bloggers would be wise to fully understand the basics of copyright law especially as it pertains to the concept of “fair use.”  Becoming educated on copyright law as it pertains to blogging is easy if you know where to look:

  • GeneaBloggers has developed a Resources on Blog Copyright and Theft page which lists close to 40 free resources to learn more about copyright and how to protect your intellectual property.
  • Stanford University has produced an excellent educational website – Copyright & Fair Use -  which gives a good overview of how copyright law works, what exactly is meant by “fair use” and more.  Many bloggers and geneabloggers rely upon this website to get a better understanding of what should and should not be reproduced on a blog.
  • A great resource within the geneablogging community is Craig Manson’s blog GeneaBlogie.  Besides being a most excellent spot to learn more about his family’s history, Craig has closely tracked various copyright issues as they pertain to quoting and using published materials on a blog.
