I have a question about the conditions of use of the IMDB-provided data. It says:
If this wasn't allowed, would I be able to distribute a piece of free software that creates graphs from the datasets, provided the user manually downloads the data themselves?
Thanks!
The data can only be used for personal and non-commercial use and must not be altered/republished/resold/repurposed to create any kind of online/offline database of movie information (except for individual personal use). Please refer to the copyright/license information enclosed in each file for further instructions and limitations on allowed usage.My question is this: If I write a piece of free software that downloads the datasets to the user's machine so they can generate and view graphs of them, is this allowed? My thinking is that, as I'm not including the data with the software, nor writing the application to run on the web, the information is indeed being downloaded for individual personal use, for each specific user.
If this wasn't allowed, would I be able to distribute a piece of free software that creates graphs from the datasets, provided the user manually downloads the data themselves?
Thanks!
