larneman Posted 22 December , 2004 Share Posted 22 December , 2004 Compiled and copyright © Transcribed & Researched Chris Comber 2004 He is only copyrighting his website layout and how he has placed and transcribed the Roll of Honor. Nothing strange about that. He explains when you try to copy something from his site. I do that on my non-profit websites that contain Genealogy records just to stop pay sites from using the stuff I have transcribed. Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, for example, means that you can't open links in a new window. It's all a complete waste of time, because anyone who wants to copy/steal won't be put off in the slightest, as there are numerous ways around it. Java-disabling right-click doesn't stop anyone from doing something they are determined to do. In this particular case it's all rather ironic, given that the author of the page has included graphics from other sites, and is even hotlinking to the FOWM one!

Max Posted 23 December , 2004 Share Posted 23 December , 2004 It really is pointless disabling the right mouse button. To pinch the content all you have to do is go to "file" and "save as" Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larneman Posted 23 December , 2004 Share Posted 23 December , 2004 You are right of course, Andy. It is a bit of nonsense because if you temporally disable Java in your browser you can avoid it and it does not protect him from programs like webstripper. But we have to remember it is his site aand he placed the information on it. So he calls the shots if you want to make use of what he is offering. He does say that everything is free for personal use. That's Life. Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Samson Posted 16 January , 2005 Share Posted 16 January , 2005 But we have to remember it is his site aand he placed the information on it. A project like this, and a mammoth undertaking it is too, has to be congratulated. However, I've noticed that for just two of the memorials I'm currently researching (about 100 men) there are at least a dozen or so errors and omissions. Has anyone else compared their research with the memorial listings on this site and found similar? Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larneman Posted 16 January , 2005 Share Posted 16 January , 2005 On the memorial I am researching there many ommissions and mistakes. But the records on CWGC and SDGW are also not perfect. I started a thread HERE for the hard to find names Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiletto_33853 Posted 17 January , 2005 Share Posted 17 January , 2005 On a project such as this, which is i believe admirable in its intent, the information given is only as good as the transcriber. I have given information, photos and transcriptions to this site where i can, as i believe it is a great project and worthy of some of my time. In my travels doing a bit for this site i have come across errors many a time from the church memorial to the town/village memorial, names missing from one to another, spelling mistakes etc etc. I photograph the names on the memorial to ensure accurate transciption. Gary, just a suggestion here, but with the research you are doing, if you find mistakes and can help Martin out please contact him. He would be very pleased to hear from you as he is trying to be as accurate as possible. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would'nt like some paying site to browse into my work and strip the whole lot without my knowledge. How do you go about getting you're website layout etc Copyrighted? I'm really interested to know, before my own site gets up and running. Regards James Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really interested to know, before my own site gets up and running. Regards James Brown James, I'm no expert, but I think under UK law asserting copyright explicitly does not actually have to be done - if you publish something (including your website) then it is protected within the UK by copyright law. Most people just put a statement along the lines of that quoted at the beginning of this message. Obviously, the point has also been made earlier that if you put information, photos etc on your site then it is fairly easy for someone to grab them and use them. And if they did, what could you actually do about it? Not sure...but I still have the copyright statement on my own website anyway! Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
