I note that the GWF, having taken legal advice, have now put a block on images of MIC's being displayed on their site due the the issue of Copyright.
There always was a potential Copyright issue in posting them ( and other images), but it appears Ancestry & Co. have made changes recently to their T & C's.

I notice the block on posting MIC's, Service files has been relaxed, provided, the poster is an Ancestry, etc member and it was for their own research.

Non members of Ancestry, etc are specifically banned from requesting members obtain and upload images for them.

The update ends " We post this announcement having sought professional legal advice, but without a reply from Ancestry to a letter documenting our concerns and queries. Should a response from Ancestry be forthcoming we may have to amend the guidance outlined above."
