[Request] Movies Review (like imdb )

Can you add to dolphin option to have own Movies databes review ?

Something like this will never be included with Dolphin.  I'd like something like this myself, along with movie listings.  I have seen a few mods on expertzzz, that allow you to add movie listings.... HOWEVER, these mods are illegal because they get the listings from IMDB through a technique commonly known as 'web scraping'.  I contacted IMDB, and they verified that the use of these types of scripts on your own site are not legal.  Furthermore, IMDB is not even in a position to license their content, because they, themselves license movie content from Fandango.  So.... having a movie database on your site that rips off content from IMDB is about as illegal as it gets.  The purveyors of these scripts will always tell you something like, "All we're doing is linking back to IMDB" , but that is a pretty lame cover story for ripping off someone else's content.

There may be some good news in all of this.  I have heard rumors that Google may be working on a movie database API, but I don't believe Google has confirmed it.  Movie listings by zip code would make a great addition to a lot of sites, but there just isn't any legal way to do it at the moment.... other than paying a hefty license fee to Fandango.

My opinions expressed on this site, in no way represent those of Boonex or Boonex employees.
