Thanks, I certainly don't want to worry too much but, at the same time, the data is a big component of the value proposition in this case and likely what cost us more (more than the actual development of the service, for example).

So much so that we are likely to make more money by giving access to the data via API to other companies than by allowing "normal" people to search through the data and get paid a referral fee every time they click on something.

By why should we avoid the latter as an additional revenue stream? I'd rather try and make it more difficult for people to scrape it (and I don't want to ask people to accept T&C before making a search)

Thanks for the reply Paul
