Berkshire / Re: Parish Registers
« on: Sunday 14 September 08 00:07 BST (UK)  »
"What Dr. Durant almost certainly does not want is images of Berkshire parish registers on CD - once digitised the copyright will be almost impossible to enforce."

Ancestry.com, Scotlandspeople have this "problem."Oh do I pity them. The poor folks at these sites are bleeding money so badly - that I've chosen to voluntarily forgo that cup of coffee every day to send them some assistance.  Its such a problem that new companies want to get a slice of the "loss leader pie."

Crazy world we live in huh?

Dr. Durant's statement is one I'd expect to hear from an officials in Botswana. It is a cruel act of self subordination - undermining their own ability to make money from the registers.

Sure - they might see a reduction of income per person from a handful of customers, but they loose thousands of customers that would pay handful of money each, but a lot more in total.

But the real delight is that we don't need to pay tribute to these dignified dimwits. Most of these books have been published already in some form or the other and are landing up on Internet sites everywhere free of charge.

The pirates treasure parish chest train has left the building. Such a shame.
