If the transcriber matched their customer and we didn't have the source ourselves. FreeBMD *cannot* afford to become involved in legal disputes with 1837online, so it doesn't come down to them proving it. If we believe that transcriptions come from their scans we will remove them. That way we are able to show that we are taking real steps to prevent illegal use of their scans. -- Dave Mayall
