Well done! I do not believe the guy who complained as he only downloaded updates 4 times a year. £19 per annum for peace of mind is a bargain especially when you consider to cost of a fine and the subsequent increase insurance premium.

Absolutely, fully support this decision - for all of the reasons already stated, no need to repeat. But what I will repeat is a big, no, huge, thanks to all of the people that make this site work - and work so well. Thumbs Up

Darren my point was the timing of the announcement I do thourougly respect the work that MaFt and also the rest off the team oldie included for the effort they put in, this is without question, But I think everybody should bearin mind that everybody has thier own opinion whether they use or sunbscribe,register,Paid or not Paid,Guest. because they all have thier own particular interest in the site, and should be respected not flamed simply because they have an opposite view to somebody else.

It's still great value at £19.

However I don't see how this will prevent piracy. I very much doubt it's the person that pays for it who tends to put it on the net - it's probably that they then give it to their friend/son etc and THEY then pass it on again themselves until a pirate gets hold of it.

Why not put a unique seed into each download of the file and identify who it is that's leaking the file (pretty easy in PHP). Then, whenever you see a pirated version of the file, disable that person's account and show them the evidence of why you're doing it. They'll have less incentive to share it with their mates.

I like many others complained when a charge was introduced but looking back I feel that was human nature free on minute then having to shell out my hard erned money the next. As time goes on though and you begin to realise what hard work goes into keeping this data base up to date then £19 does not seem that much to pay.

I read the concerns of people who only update occasionally through the year and feel that this is a weak argument. I myself work for the NHS and most of my daily driving is around Norfolk where I have only seen one new camera site this past year (still waiting for one of you guys to spot it for free membership) but even so I still update most months because you never know what’s been put up around that next bend.

I also fully support your decision and a big thank you to all staff and reporting members, as I know you have saved me at least 3 points and £60.

Good to see you back Dennis, how were those beers/bears.
