Why THE **** does EQUIBASE need to BREAK BALLS?

[the_fat_man]

Equibase offers FREE PDF RESULTS charts. Key term here is 'FREE'!!!

I play multiple tracks and have written a download program to get these charts. HOWEVER, Equibase limits the number of charts I can download at a given time (sometimes this runs over a 24 hour period) to FIVE.

WHY? What in the world could I possibly be doing with these charts? they're ENCRYPTED? If they're FREE, why can't I download the 8 or 10 I need each day and not get my balls broken? If they don't want large downloads of their FREE data THEN DON'T OFFER IT FOR FREE.

I mean, I understand that EQUIBASE wants me (and others) to BUY DATA. I'm in for that; right after their data becomes a little bit less FLAWED.

What else is there to say but BLOW ME EQUIBASE.
