• Copyright Explained

  I decided to copyright the book I wrote about my father’s side of the family. I had researched the descendants of his grandparents and then traced the ancestors of both of those grandparents back to the 1400′s….thanks to some German cousins who also enjoy genealogy and enjoyed sharing their research with me. I included lots of scanned documents.

  Before submitting a copy of the family history for copyright, I did a little research on the process, etc. with our genealogy interest group. The following says it all, however, it didn’t have an author or source listed with it…..so don’t know the author’s name. Hope this doesn’t infringe on this unknown author’s copyright rights!

  Copyright Explained

  When you write copy, you have the right to copyright the copy you write, if the copy is right. If however, your copy falls over, you must right your copy. If you write religious services you write the rite, and have the right to copyright the rite you write. Very conservative people write right copy, and have the right to copyright the right copy they write. A right wing cleric would write right rite, and has the right to copyright the right rite he has the right to write. His editor has the job of making the right rite copy right before the copyright can be right. Should Thom Wright decide to write right rite, then Wright would write right rite, which Wright has the right to copyright. Duplicating that rite would copy Wright’s right rite, and violate copyright, which Wright would have the right to right.
