Family Archive CDs

Why Are Family Archive CDs Copyrighted?

According to the fourth rule of Fair Use, a work must be original in order to deserve copyright protection.

We start with information dispersed in public and private records. Then, our professional staff adds value to that data by selecting which records and data fields to compile, filling in missing or incomplete areas, interpreting ambiguous information, arranging their compilation in a unique format, and adding retrieval software to make the data easy to search. This produces a work that is original enough to merit a copyright.
