Dear Beth, I agree with you ! For exemple I have given information on the RJWL concerning the jewels given to Queen Mary for her wedding with several sections (with the source)...a famous site has taken the information with my own feeling. Franck --Previous Message-- : Over the last 2 years I have noticed that many : of the insights, deductions and discoveries : of members of this board have been used on : blog sites without any, or minimal, : attribution. : : In one case a precisely annotated image by : one of our members was used as well as that : RJWMB poster's insight, deduction and : conclusion without any acknowledgement. : : In all cases I have seen the impression : given is that the blogger concerned has made : the discovery. In some cases this board has : been mentioned but usually only to suggest : that RJWMB members have made some minor : contribution which the blogger has deigned : to acknowledge to highlight his/her self : proclaimed credentials as a researcher. : : In the past week I have come across 4 such : sites, which is why I am raising the issue : now. (The two I discovered today outraged me : and have prompted this comment.) : : The only re-used discovery from this board : which I have seen fully acknowledge is : Vincent's regarding the Vifte tiara. : : I realise that we are all pooling ideas on a : forum which can be viewed by anyone, but : posters still have intellectual property : rights regardless of this being an internet : forum, and those rights are the same as if : the person published in a book, journal, : magazine, newspaper etc. : : Perhaps the bloggers have no idea of the : rights of intellectual property? : : I wonder if board members would like to : formulate a policy regarding how to handle : infringements of intellectual property? : : : :
