So, it is about generating money rather than freedom of information. Just like the speed cameras then!

There has been a little problem with the decoder. This is an extract from the site 3rd January 2004. It would appear the PRO dirty tricks department have been working overtime and that the Person ID's we have been relying upon have been altered for no obvious technical reason. They are no longer valid for anything other than the current session which means you cannot build up a database of persons expecting to be able to use that information to come to a reasoned decision regarding which images to pay for & download. [It also seems likely that the sessions are being restricted to no more than two hours.] Please do not complain to the author - it is the PRO who need to be reminded who pay their wages although I am sure they will state we should not be using internal numbers generated by their code. If that was the case then they should never have generated them in the first place. Shame because it was so good and saved some time and money!
