It also showed that genea-bloggers - as a group - can certainly be a catalyst for change.Schelly Talalay Dardashtihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032992699790207317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32414509.post-19873140733128808422007-08-30T17:37:00.000-06:002007-08-30T17:37:00.000-06:00Schelly, I hope you don't mind that I added your l...Schelly, <BR/><BR/>I hope you don't mind that I added your link an article on my blog about this issue. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad Ancestry.com has at least temporarily disabled the database. I hope they make it permanent. <BR/><BR/>I like you am amazed that the database moved through all the channels of design and approval without someone saying, "um wait, can we do this? um wait, SHOULD we do it? um wait, would anyone object?"<BR/><BR/>One of the responses I read this morning said that if one of us found data in Ancestry.com's free section, copied or cached it, and then offered it for sale (heck or even for free) their corporate attorneys would be on us like a tic on a dog. So what is the difference between this scenario and what they did? Nothing that I can discern.<BR/><BR/>JaniceJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476918537317701594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32414509.post-20529522068541959072007-08-30T14:16:00.000-06:002007-08-30T14:16:00.000-06:00Hi, Jasia, Myrt and Craig,Thank you for your comme...Hi, Jasia, Myrt and Craig,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your comments. We'll have to wait and see what "for the time being" really means. <BR/><BR/>Craig, good comment on the concept of consultation with the genealogy community. <BR/><BR/>SchellySchelly Talalay Dardashtihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032992699790207317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32414509.post-91300162342205132622007-08-30T10:33:00.000-06:002007-08-30T10:33:00.000-06:00Good thoughts, Schelly.

Apparently not much. Even if legal (an issue I'll be exploring next week), Ancestry's actions represent a breach of trust with the rest of the community.Craig Mansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06567686559055003349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32414509.post-36074274661834489472007-08-30T08:36:00.000-06:002007-08-30T08:36:00.000-06:00You are so right, Schelly.

Let's hope Ancestry learned a lesson from this and doesn't mess with cached pages of our content ever again.Jasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561520746304048996noreply@blogger.com
