Yes, it's sad and very telling that the company has to slander me in the process of explaining their decision. What they are not mentioning, conveniently, is I spoke directly with their attorney and told them I never even downloaded it from their site, so the accusation of labeling me a thief was unfounded. I asked for evidence, and she, of course, could produce none. They also have not had "scraping" as they call it in their Term of Service over the years... though it is now... it is absent from other versions of their policy. So, since they have produced no logs anyway of whomever downloaded it (with dates), who knows when this information was compiled and whether it really was against their terms of use policy of "scraping." They are leaving out the fact that my archive had quite a bit that Fold3 did not, including documents obtained under the FOIA that were obtained by me, and user submissions from actual Blue Book witnesses who saw their cases on The Black Vault. They laid claim to all of that. They also leave out the fact that I offered to turn over my personal financial statements, and donate to Ancestry.com the few dollars (literally, few dollars) that came in since they accused me of "profiting". They declined when they realized the money was not even in the 3 digits, and in fact, not even close. They also leave out that I offered to give 100% (yes. 100%) of ALL commercial ad space to them to sell, advertise ancestry.com properties, advertise their DNA kits, or whatever they wanted -- and to keep 100% of the profits. They declined. They are also leaving out, the fact their attorneys had full knowledge I was going to release a statement, and as a courtesy to them, I asked for them to release the same, and I would be more than happy to publish, next to mine, what they would like to say about the issue, unedited. They declined. But, of course, I learn they slander me because they are getting flooded with letters and phone calls. The court of public opinion is all I need to know that this issue -- is a ludicrous one -- and a waste of time and money for everyone. Plain and simple -- I'd love evidence that *I* downloaded anything from them. They can never produce it -- and the guy who did who I only know by a nickname -- could have (though I don't know) downloaded the information well before the "scraping" clause was in their terms of use policy. Since I asked Ancestry.com for evidence and I was met with silence, my guess he did without breaking their terms of use policy, did not "steal" anything and the information is in the public domain which no one can lay claim to -- not even if you did scan it as indicated by the NY Supreme Court ruling: http://en.wikipedia.org/.../Bridgeman_Art_Library_v....
 It's a shame that this is the type of corporation Ancestry.com is. Their recent show of this is quite apparent in their statement about me personally -- especially since I peacefully complied with their demands -- and their attack and label on my is nothing short of saddening and pathetic.
