My guess, Stan, is that this is a public relations issue, not a legal issue. Or did I miss something? Has a suit been filed? I spent a good many years of my life advising companies on the right way to do things - or trying to bail them out when they do it the wrong way. Ancestry would have made a helluva good client! It always manages to botch things, starting with its unbelievable stupid "no subscription cancellations" policy (since changed). Richard P. Fairfax, Virginia

It is a legal issue that will never be a legal issue until someone forks over the money for the attorney or find one who is willing to spend years litigating a case fee 'gratis {sic?} These non-profits don't have the funds for it. Frankly, there is now only a few who are rolling stones and those are the ones who went too far in biting the hand that fed them Joyce Gaston Reece ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard A.

Richard, I doubt that a new suit has been filed. W. David "quoted" some court decision, and he then alleged Ancestry had violated the decision. A counter claim by another lister alleged the court decision had been appealed. IF it is still in the judicial system, then we should wait, to discover the Appellate Court's decision. The whole mess seems to me to be a case of "venting", and little about Copyright, or, as the Bard wrote, "Much ado about nothing." If you haven't been following this "discussion" and REALLY want to know more, just check the archives for the las few days. I'm certain you will learn more than you want to know. I'm following this to see how far the list monito will let this go before stoppingit. Stan B. --- "Richard A.
