Default Re: nwmls threatening fines on directory listing

But the public does not search the MLS, they search the broker reciprocity data feed for the MLS, which is not the entire MLS because many fields are not replicated & at least in my region you can choose not to have a listing show up in the broker data feed.

There's also a problem with allowing it to seem like a public utility, which may cause it to lose its protection as a Realtor-only database.

These are the reasons they give....
