Hi everyone, I'd like to hear your feedback on this apparent milestone in privately held public data aggregation, and what you think the impacts are of this one company having control of so much data. Does the fact that it's publicly traded make a difference in the legal challenges that come up with public access to data? How so? I don't know the subscription costs to access this data and how their product displays whether the data is from public sources, or their proprietary ones - does it all just blend together into their product? Anyone work with CoreLogic, or First American, which spun off into CoreLogic? What's their reputation? I'm hoping there'd be some First American Spatial Solutions employees here who could chime in. Who's watching this data maintainer?
