I know this is an old 2017 G2G posting, but I just had to comment. I have found many a photo or clippings on Ancestry that had been posted by me or another relative on other sites before Ancestry took those sites over, and also for that matter myself or known relative in past few years have posted them on Ancestry. So those photos and clipping belonged to us first, and we placed them out there, I had on the other sites back in the 1980's had always posted please use with permission for family genealogy use only, but not for profit publications. Well, Ancestry collects all those, and charges people to see and use them, so they are doing so for profit. I know a few lawyers in town that could argue both sides on this one all night if you keep buying the rounds. I made the call to use any of my own, or those given to me, or permission given to me by relatives to use photos and clippings anywhere I wish. I could go on in much more detail, but I think I got my two cents worth of copper out ...
