Roy,
I'm afraid that's the way it works here.

I got copies of WWII records for a distant relative of my husband's from Australian N.A. All for the minimal cost of digitisation. Had someone else applied to do the same before me, I could have downloaded them from their site ... for nothing.

However, I personally would be prepared to pay double the amount to get some of my relatives records. One of them actually has no NOK in the strictest sense...

I realise that this may be a stance on principle, but as far as research goes, nothing else comes close to these records.
