Many people researching their family history are unaware of (or perhaps choose to ignore) the copyright restrictions that apply to some of the photographs and documents they need to refer to; and some commercial web sites appear to take take no measures to prevent users from sharing copyright images or researched information.
By default, copyright in published and researched material remains in place until 75 years after the death of the author. Copyright in images remains with whoever owns them. Copyright does not apply to short quotations, reviews or material ‘already in the public domain’.
