[Opengenalliance] old bailey proceedings

[Javier Ruiz]

Hi

There is a very interesting website with the proceedings of The Old Bailey,
which however illustrates many of the copyright issues we need to clarify in
relation to genealogy.

The effect of digitisation of public domain historical documents seems to be
in effect a "copyright reset". So texts form 1674 are now restricted. It is
not even clear what that copyright is trying to protect. Is all this proper
at least?

What do you think?
