Actually, they just stopped public paper sales. The stated
reason was they didn't want terrorists to use them. But I
guess they didn't figure that terrorists could either use
old charts or the files in electronic form.

Yeah, that's the same excuse they're giving for removing public access to
DAFIF. Because everybody knows that airports move around all the time so
you can't use old data.

But in the case of DAFIF, the real reason is that the Australian avaition
authority sued Jeppeson for using their copyright data. Rather than
waiting to see if Australia won and/or that Australian would then go after
them, they just withdrew.
