This is so backwards, I don’t even know where to start. Another fine example of NAR “eating their own”.

I would love to hear how Google would respond to the allegations that they are a scraper site. The basis of the ruling is plain wrong and the long-term implications will most definitely provide leverage to non-member sites who don’t have to abide by the rules.

There is no doubt MIBOR needs to look a little deeper into the issue before taking action such as this, but the NAR should know better.

Shame on both of you.

I do not understand how the MIBOR can be so misinformed on internet technology. It seems like an quick decision was made on something that will have far reaching effects. As noted, there is very real chance this could turn into a domino effect and hurt any local MLS provider.

Carolyn ~ I’m not sure if Chris N. is changing his tune or not today, but he seemed pretty open about an hour ago when I exchanged e-mails with him. I told him my concern that restricting agents IDX privileges will only hurt our NAR members, while opening the doors for misuse and misappropriation by nonmembers. I am hoping that NAR does take the feedback that is given by their members and do the right thing.
