Re: [Imdbpy-help] How about copyright infringement when using IMDBPY

Hi,
short answer: don't make any money out of it (not even
in terms of saved money).

The plain text data files are free to use for personal and
non-commercial usage.
For anything else, you need a license (that is quite expensive).

As long as your project respect their terms of service [0] and
instructions about how to link to their page, you will encounter
no problem. :-)

HTH,

[Imdbpy-help] How about copyright infringement when using IMDBPY

[Joep Vuurwijk]

Dear mr, mrs,,


I would like to start a moviesite/blog (in dutch language) and therefore
would like to use the monthly database dump from your site. I hope that you
would be so kind to help me out with a issue I am encountering.


I would like to use the data from your IMDBPY (such as movie posters, movie
ratings, in which movies does an actor play, etc) but* am afraid *though* about
copyright infringement! *What if I make use of IMDBPY and in a few years I
start making some money out of my site (google Ads etc)?? Is the data
copyright free or can I get in trouble with IMDB?


I hope you can help me on this subject, any sort of information is very
welcome!


Thank you in advance.


Kind regards,

Joep Vuurwijk,

the Netherlands
