Davide, I did read the thread before coming here and I'm not quite sure I understand the legal implications you are making reference to. Not that I plan any commercial uses of this data, but the only people I could see having issue with that would be IMDb since they are the content owners. That being said I think that at some level once the data is out there it can be mined by whoever wants. I also find it hard to believe that there would be issue with someone's non-commercial site even if it is ad-supported.
Interested to hear more on the subject.
