I just found out this morning about the attack on Cyndi's List, and it's amazing owner. Apparently, someone has stolen ALL of her content, that she has always offered for free to users, and has put it in their own "paid" site. You can read Cyndi's original Facebook post concerning this here.
I am no expert on copyright laws, but I do know that this is beyond wrong, and morally reprehensible. To steal from someone, who has selflessly given of her time and resources to help others out in their genealogical research just leaves me speechless. It breaks my heart and angers me at the same time.
Please, take a moment to visit Cyndi's List, and on the upper right hand corner of her main page is a donate button. Take a moment to give what you can to help her fight this. She deserves our support after all she has given the genealogy community over the years.
