@amapanda it does look very "You must be *this* corporate to download our data".

All of them seem to require accounts/logins, probably so that overture gets to see who downloaded their data

@scruss @amapanda I haven't checked, but hosting with S3 allows them to require whoever is downloading the files to pay for the AWS egress bandwidth.

@schep @scruss I'm downloading it now w/o paying or registering for anything
