I can see that opening your tree on GR to only a select few would count as limited access so I'm sure that's fine, but - if one of those people were to copy the images and then paste them all over their family tree website for anyone and everyone to see you might end up in trouble. |

Thank you for your replies. Having read over the legal jargon, I'm still not sure what I'm allowed to do. I think the second sentence of 8 d) from Scotland's People says I can't use the images on the internet. I'll need to look into it further. |

I don't think Masami's quote is relevant. A GR tree is not an open internet site. The owner has to give explicit permission to each viewer, and I would think it's OK based on the following copyright waiver: |

I've paid for and downloaded images from Scotland's People. I'm now in the process of putting my family tree on Genes Reunited. My question is, would I be infringing Scotland's People Copyright if I post the images in my family tree? |
