</div>I've sent an e-mail to them asking if we can get official permission (I can<br>
find no evidence we ever had it). I have some hope as it appears Freevo was<br>
granted permission. No idea if I'll have an answer or solution before<br>
release.<br>
<br>
That said, imdbpy.py could be made to use the DB they make available, this<br>
would be the worst solution (the DB is large, with few mirrors, and some<br>
information unavailable). Not to mention it would force everyone to install<br>
imdbpy. Currently imdbpy.py works but requires the imdbpy Python module to<br>
be installed (why it isn't just replacing imdb.pl for the release).<br>
