Steve, I'm not convinced Virginia Clerks ARE protecting the records at all. I think they think they are. I am convinced you are trying to help them.

I think if you will watch the RedVision site you will see they will go live with the records within the next 30-60 days. The ESS site is already live and most likely has a subscription with the county. In an interview with the Wall Street Reporter ESS founder and CEO Samjay Kanth claims the company is "America's first offshore title plant".  He further claims in the interview that they do this by accessing a lot of online records". The ESS website shows the records they are accessing. The four counties in Virginia you serve are all listed. 

The websites of the companies worldwide who exploit Virginia records in bulk and online are telling you where and how they get your records and how they are exploiting them. I am not saying these companies have broken any laws. To my knowledge, they haven't, but they do not feel about Virginians or their records as you do Steve. You, your business, and the citizens are just easy targets.

There are any number of ways they could have skirted the efforts of your county sites. Subscription sites are like putting a high tech padlock on a paper box and then handing out a few thousand keys.

You can be certain Steve that if you continue to insist bulk transfer by subscription service in Virginia is secure, those who traffic in bulk records legally and illegally will continue to exploit Virginia records. The only secure solution is also the simplest. Unplug the people's records from the Internet. Anything less, and the counties are fascilitating the traffic.
