And why re-invent Ancestry.com's wheel? If all I have to do to access an article I want is to accept an ad that probably won't even read, then it sounds like a winner to me. I win, the newspaper publisher wins, and Google wins. Wins big, I hope. Library archives aren’t searchable. And why re-invent Ancestry.com’s wheel?

They could have started with State vital records to put them in direct competition with Ancestry.com and their database suppliers. Those records are truly difficult to access, even in the Information Age, and even though they are publicly available. But instead they're going after copyrighted materials like books and newspapers? Those can be seen at any local library, which is where you will find me if I'm looking for books and newspapers.</p> Seems like a big mistake to me.
