Thanks for your thoughts on this, Joao.
It will be something I must deal with in the future as I plan to start publishing.
I was just thinking how massive a task it would be to get in writing the permission for each and every living person to be included. There are many people who write me to make sure their families are included in my future Pico and Terceira books.

Hi Doug,Oh yes, the 10-book Genealogias da Ilha Terceira. I don't have that book, as my wife's ancestors don't come from Terceira. I do have the 4-book Genealogias das Quatro Ilhas where indeed a lot of living people are listed. Some were still being breast fed when it was published.I do think that the science clause,applies, but it's slightly different. In Portugal (and in the rest of the world), they're still struggling on the difference between paper and digital. The former is free speech, and you can't censor that without good reason. The tables turn in the case of data and databases. On the data front, there's this privacy comission I mentioned (CNPD) that regulates the distribution of any private data. In the end it's all the same, but the line can easily grow thin in the case of ebooks (which is what the 10vol GdIT and 4vol Gd4I should have been, instead of being so massive and expensive).As an aside, I do firmly believe that these books have heavy contributions by people, which simply contribute their whole GEDCOM without realizing their young cousins will make it onto a printed book. Unfortunately, it also leads to some simple errors which shouldn't be committed by genealogists of such renown. I've got a case of a woman (ancestor to my wife and my kids) being a mother at 76yrs back in the 1700s.João C. Ventura
