Obviously, there's no point in continuing this discussion. I've made the points I wanted to make and your words speak for themselves as well.

With the information they now have thanks to this discussion, researchers can, and will, make up their own minds. Ancestry's actions, now and in the future, will speak for themselves.

I've made my request to Ancestry to refrain from spidering our Genealogy Trails websites and not take the data that does not belong to them. Hopefully they'll do the right thing and respect my request.
