[This was posted to my blogs several years ago, but thought it appropriate to post it here again since we’ve moved to the new domain. Our one exception is to occasionally repost posts from the old domain that have been fairly popular.]

All content on Rootdig.com, Genealogy Tip of the Day and my other blogs is self-written. It is not copied and pasted from the work of others and originates from my own keyboard. Like many writers, I do get writing ideas from other blogs and bloggers, but that’s about as far as the “getting” content from others goes. I try very hard to respect the creative rights and copyright of other writers and bloggers. Copyright matters. Respecting the intellectual property of others matters.  It’s not just a legal matter, it’s an ethical matter.
