2. The original contract with Ancestry.com is flawed

The Commonwealth failed to establish who owns the data, when they hired Ancestry to maintain the archive. Now that we know how stuff like this can be abused for political reasons, we need to carefully preserve the data, and keep it safe.

The state department hired Ancestry.com back in 2008 in order to save money on hiring more employees to do this work, now they're really in a bind. This lawsuit brings it all out in the open.
