    1. Ownership of files
    2. Ray & Diana Nadeau
    3. Hi After following the discussion on double keying, I would like to offer an opinion on the ownership of transcribed files. For myself, I would consider them to be the property of FreeBMD once they are uploaded. After I have done the best I can with typing, doublechecking and correcting the information, they can be passed on to the team doing the verifying or whatever. I shouldn't need to ever deal with them again, and indeed never do, so I don't care if I own them or have any access to them other than searching through FreeBMD. (I do keep the originals on my computer anyway for backup.) Once the files are verified, I could only mess them up by opening them again. Is there a reason for leaving them in the name of each transcriber? Diana N.
