Alternatively, if you are viewing the agreement at a public URL, share it so the rest of us can take a look. I did find this at the Customer service link: "While it's true that the original documents are "public domain," we have painstakingly processed the records through our proprietary enhancement systems. It is through this synthesizing process that we have generated a new product, which is fully protected by U.S. and International copyright law." However, since copyright protects only original intellectual concepts, it seems to me that copies (product) of public domain documents, no matter how much they are enhanced, are not protected by copyright. Again, they may be protected by the licensing agreement for access, but that is not copyright. Hope you have a URL :) Pat
