The answer is ... put yourself in CI's shoes and try to assess what you are going to post to from their perspective. Of course, CI Expert 5.0 does let a user export all games and they can easily be imported in chessbase - annotations and all. That is a function (exportability to pgn) that they tout in their sales pitch. So in essense, their own software lets you do this conversion. But their software does have a activation copy protection scheme. Question for you? Why would you want to tell perhaps non-licensed users how top gain access to their proprietary database - since all licenesed users already have that capability? Is that illegal? I don't know , I 'm neither a lawyer or a judge. But on the surface it doesn't smell right and I would tread lightly. I'm a big fan of CI. I have every single Volume 1-88 (89 is in on it's way) sitting on my bookself as well as the softcopy versions. I like CI because they give you the best of the latest. The games published by CI are very high quality and most are well annotated.
