Roy quoted from the FMP website: If you use your subscription to carry out research for other people (even for free), we reserve the option to stop you using the website and charge you retrospectively at £0.12 per credit for the records you have viewed. If you want to use the website for commercial purposes, you must buy a Corporate package." I find this very confusing as the FMP website describes a Corporate package thus: We offer corporate access to a large number of private and public organisations. Our corporate plans allow multiple users to access the site via one or more accounts. There is no limit to the number of users who can access the site at one time. You can also restrict access to a fixed IP address, or IP address range, which will ensure that your account is only used by users logged on to your system. The above doesn’t appear to apply to the “one man business” run by a large number of professional researchers and there is no mention on the FMP website of a “package” specifically aimed at the one man business. Just makes me wonder if a lot of professional researchers are cheats. Dawn in Sweden

A business is a body corporate, irrespective of whether it is run by a single person or not. There is, therefore, no reason why there should be a special package aimed at a one man business, the corporate package as defined covers it.
