Hi Folks,

Just a quick warning about a "person" who is building quite
a nice web site by taking our data right off the web pages where
we either put it ourselves or where we gave someone permission
to post it.....

The site: "The World Genealogy Archives" (not be confused with
USGenWeb!!)
TWGA is located at: <http://oasis.slcc.edu/search/>;
Maintained by a dirtbag named Matt Roller.

I found the Alligood Cemetery records I transcribed to my Colquitt Co.,
GAGenWeb
page there this morning. He DID NOT have my permission to lift them off
my web
site! He didn't ask! When I confronted him, he won't answer me or the
others
who have also emailed him.

I also found both of the TATE bibles and the MASHBURN bible text I
submitted to
Anna Buxton's site "The Bible Archives at Matt Roller's site this
morning. Anna
told me today that he never asked her to use them. He sure didn't ask
me.
He even
used my dialog verbatum, including the people's nicknames from our bible
records.

If you have records online like these, census, wills, deaths, burials,
obits,
marriages, births, diaries, journals, newletters, and so on...you might
want
to check there to see if he has taken your info too.

I talked to several people on the GALINA list this morning who also found
their
records at his site after I told them where to look. There are more
victims on
the new Copyright-l list too.

What can you do about this you ask.....you can subscribe to a new list
and find
out more about your rights to your data. It's called COPYRIGHT-L and to
subscribe
send a message to:


with this command: subscribe in the body of the message. Don't
forget
to turn
off your signature block.

Another thing you can do is visit Matt Roller's guestbook and tell him
what you
think of people who steal data off our web pages. The url for his
guestbook is:

http://144.35.8.177/search/guestbook.htm

And finally, you are free to contact his internet host which happens to
be
(can you believe it?) Salt Lake City Community College

Here is a message off his guestbook:

"For those of you who are interested, here is the contact information for
the
Internet administrator of the Salt Lake City Community College
(where Mr. Roller's site is located):

Whois slcc.edu
[rs.internic.net.]

Salt Lake City Community College (SLCC-DOM)
P.O. Box 30808
Salt Lake City, UT 84130

Domain Name: SLCC.EDU

Administrative Contact:
Hawkin, Marvin (MH320)
(801) 967-4128
Technical Contact, Zone Contact:
Zoumadakis, Bill (BZ22)
(801) 967-4128

And lastly, you can boycott his site, other than to tell him what you
think
in his guestbook, and
show your support to the many people he has stolen from. People think he
has worked so hard at
building a nice web site but little do they know how he got most of his
data. Rather than just
decide not to put your data out there for someone to take, why not stand
up
against people like
him and put them out of commission. Let's not deprive ourselves of the
wonderful sharing and
exchange we now enjoy because of people like Matt Roller. Thanks for
your time!
