Distribution of blocked church register photos
In a family search center it was said that church register photos could be uploaded to his profile page if they were close relatives.
However, this information is not conclusive? Because all Familysearch users can then see photos that can otherwise only be viewed via a Familysearch center.
Is it really allowed to download photos that are blocked from home and can only be viewed in one center from a center and then upload them to your profile from home so that everyone can then see these photos via an individual profile, although? Are these photos actually blocked?
If this were true, and the millions of Familysearch users were each allowed to distribute a photo from a blocked church register that they had downloaded from a Familysearch center via their own profile from home, then we would have one within a very short time Flood of openly accessible church records distributed online by private users. The barrier to Familysearch would not only be broken, but would also become obsolete.

I've read through the answers but they don't make sense?

The comment I made on 6 April 2023 https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/comment/504527#Comment_504527 is official. Posting FamilySearch images that are restricted to the FamilySearch Library or a center to a person's Memories page does violate the contract we have with record custodians. Images on other sites depend on that site's terms of use. Please share this information if you would like. If someone has questions, you may send them my way.
Thanks, Maile 🙂
