Carmack's Guide to Copyright & Contracts

by Sharon DeBartolo Carmack C.G.R.S.

What is and what is not protected by copyright? What are your rights to your own genealogical discoveries? When do you need to ask someone's permissions to reprint their work? Can you use genealogical information you find on the Internet? In this book, you can find the answers to these and similar questions addressing all aspects of copyright law. Each chapter lays out a specific principle of copyright or contracts and then addresses the topic with situations specifically applicable to genealogists.

Written simply for someone who doesn't know a lot about copyright laws but should know more. After reading this book you'll be an expert! Great resource book. Would give it 5 stars for what it is, but only gave it four because it's not what I would normally keep on my nightstand.

Great book! I had to read this book for a class I was taking and it was very informative. If you plan on writing for magazines, books, or just creating your own website, this is a must read.
