Im not defending the company but what tou are buying is convenience - a one-shop search instead of assidious searching thro the net - depends on how you value your time eg the MI's produced by society are not necessary given many hours to search the yard yourself - so here you are paying for free info (so far no Manx yard has charged for admission though 2 years ago Michael removed access because it needed money from sheep grazing - as an aside by now the loughtans here know that tourists are easier to exploit than grass!)
