Hi, I was just tinkering with imdbpy and looking through the source. From what I can gather, imdbpy functions as some sort of web scraper. Now, looking at the imdb terms and conditions, it seems the only "interface" provided is ftp access to compressed text files. In fact, the terms and conditions explicitly forbid screen/web scrapers.
What I would like to know is: - are my assumptions above correct? - Does imdbpy have a special license from imdb to provide this package? - Do I need to get special permission for imdb to actually use this package (or at least the query functions)?
