I've thought a lot on this subject and could <i>feel</i> every word you said to the bone. <br /><br />The only 'fix' I know is to regard every single thing you share online as 'gone'. Unfortunately, it cannot be controlled. There don't seem to be any shades of gray.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-90870981198837863932011-02-27T12:55:29.290-05:002011-02-27T12:55:29.290-05:00I think that things will catch up, as more and mor...I think that things will catch up, as more and more people find their work misused. Right now, it's only beginning to dawn on us that once we release something to the Net, it's perceived as fair game to others. Eventually, people will wise up, but the only alternative in the meantime is to watch what you post.Free Genealogy Guidehttp://freegenealogyguide.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-78990985952686637862011-02-25T12:32:15.638-05:002011-02-25T12:32:15.638-05:00Marian -

I post old photos to Shades with the hope of making connections to a family.<br /><br />I do not post those photos to be used by others for sale, for art projects, scrapbooking, etc. If asked I am usually generous. If not asked, I demand removal.<br /><br />The major problem I'm running into is policing their use. I just don't have the time to be everywhere.<br /><br />I found one of my COG posters being used in artwork the other day; found merely by accident. My work is not clip art!<br /><br />Is there no guilt, shame, respect? Or are people just uneducated? I sincerely hope it is the latter.<br /><br />-fMfootnoteMavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136826114954180827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-59046587218864298092011-02-25T12:08:03.766-05:002011-02-25T12:08:03.766-05:00I agree with other commenters: this is a topic wor...I agree with other commenters: this is a topic worthy of MUCH discussion. I am so torn about my blogging, for instance. I feel like documents I have should be shared with other people, family and stranger alike. Yet, I don't like the potential misuse of the images or data...not one little bit. And for now, I confine my writing to the very distant past to protect the very near present.

I would hope that these issues be talked about at Genealogy conferences in Balance with those talking about Social Media and how we can use that for our Research. Your article is very timely, as I am working on a presentation on Sharing of our research.<br /><br />With your permission, I would like to share a link to this Blog post as a reference.<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />RussCousin Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-59495449719192238722011-02-24T11:02:02.352-05:002011-02-24T11:02:02.352-05:00This is so true.

People think that photo on the Internet is free game, and it's just not true.<br /><br />PS, your private Facebook photos aren't private at all. I've found my own on the Internet as well.<br /><br />Thanks for starting this discussion. It is definitely needed.Amy Coffin, MLIShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612044786240692282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-53567509739397426722011-02-24T10:36:29.320-05:002011-02-24T10:36:29.320-05:00Excellent article, Marian, and exactly why I don&#...Excellent article, Marian, and exactly why I don't share my genealogy anymore and stopped writing my blog.Debbie Blanton McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00565302178384332096noreply@blogger.com
