How did you get this data? Did you screenscrape IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes?
If so, is there a legal issue with reusing this data? I actually don't know what the answer is, I'm curious if there is or not.
- xaro 14y agoWell, Rotten Tomatoes offers an API, and IMDB offers all their data for download in text files.
- zevyoura 14y agoNot sure about RT, but IMDB has some fairly strict rules about how their data can be used. http://www.imdb.com/help/show_article?conditions http://www.imdb.com/help/show_article?conditions IANAL but from my reading it sounds like non-commercial use is ok.
- rcfox 14y agoI'm also not a lawyer, but I think you'd have a very hard time litigating for user-contributed content that has no creative value and is publicly available for download.
