To me, MH appears to have a company culture or business model of ripping-off customers. I think it will affect Millennia. There would have been negotiations going on between them during the lead up to release of Legacy 9. Was it a coincidence that Millennia did not allow us to run Legacy 8 and 9 at the same time, or was MH’s tentacles or influence already in Millennia? It seems to getting more like MH which is geared to channelling customers like sheep through a sheep-dip. Also Millennia has already started straying from standalone Legacy with cloud storage of family files.
Many, if not all companies with cloud technology (e.g. social media and Google Docs etc.) have in their terms and conditions that they can use anything in any way they like. They render copyright useless for the customer. Any time in the future, at their whim, they can do anything and everything with your data, narratives or images etc. John From: Philip Solida Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2017 9:41 AM To: Legacy User Group Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Hand-wring about MyHeritage and and Version 9 Add that to placing indo of living persons as readily available could be IDENTITY THEFT On Aug 7, 2017 7:40 PM, "Philip Solida" <[email protected]> wrote: Seeing work placed there by me or copying it is one thing.... giving the ability to others to edit it without my permission because you bought the Web site or program and I do not subscribe to your site is another... that is plain, pure theft of my intellectual property and work and holding it for ransom, or giving it to others who may well have no idea what they are talking about.. even if they do, PERMISSION OF THE OWNER OF THE WORK (one who placed it on a site they bought) is and should be necessary... anything else is THEFT.

My take is that putting your info in the cloud is to promote sharing. You see my tree, I see your tree. It's give an take. If you just want to surf the web and check everyone else's data but are unwilling to open your site to others, then I consider you to be greedy. I see no reason to make your file private. If you just want to use it as a backup, why put it up there in the first place.? Why not keep your data on your desktop or if you're so paranoid, put it on 3x5 cards in a shoe box and put it under your bed. There is plenty of security built in if you would try using it instead of complaining about it. Same holds true on upgrading to Version 9. I used to keep my data on chiseled sandstone, then they invented paper and pencil, Oh Heavens, should I upgrade? Then they invented computer programs, with each version making improvements. Bite the bullet and learn to use the latest technology. Do you still use 5 inch floppy disks, and maybe cassette Basic?
