| | Posted: | | | | Although this has been mentioned many times in the past, I'm afraid this is unlikely to occur.
There are enormous fees that must be paid for the use of IMDb data.
Using their data without paying their fees can result in legal problems.
The invelos rules strictly prohibits using a single party source, such as IMDb, for exactly this reason.
Clarification of this can be found here: http://invelos.com/dvdpro/contributions/Rules.aspx?display=introduction. |

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks Kathy!!! Just asked because I know MyMovies and Collectorz uses it in some form/fashion.
Would you be able to tell me how to add audio format logos to my collection? I'm using IOS and would love to incorporate the logos for Dolby TrueHD, DTS Master Audio, etc. The 5.1 etc icon is there, but think it would look great if the logo was there as well
Please advise |

| | Posted: | | | | IMDB is incorporated into the program, to a small extent:
Online --> Other Websites --> IMDB Search for This Title
You just can't outright copy and contribute that data via profile contributions.
You can of course use anything you want in your local collection though. | | | | Corey |

Please advise I am pretty computer illiterate - but there are lots of helpful people here who will be able to answer your question. Thank you Katatonia, I should have mentioned that link since I use it all the time! | | | | Last edited: by Kathy |

| | Posted: | | | | Please God, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMDb has it positive qualities but accuracy is not among them. They already exist and do NOT need to duplicated. It would cost Invcelos something probably in excess of $15,000/year to license their data and that cost would have to be borne by the users, it would not be cheap.
For example hoth mY mOVIES AND cOLLECTORZ ARE SUBSTANTIALLY MORE MONEY THEN pROFILER...WANT TO GUESS WHY7xample, bot My Movies and Collectorz do klicense from IMDb and cost much mopre than Profiler for an overall lower quality product. Not rocket science. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!
CBE, MBE, MoA and proud of it.
