IMDB Extension - thread deleted?

[silurius]

Where did the IMDB extension thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=102334&page=1&pp=15) go?

[Guest190829]

It was deleted for going against IMDB's terms of service. You need a license in order to take content from them...

It's not really a bunch of crap at all.

It says so right on their page "License our content".
I know. It's my homepage.

[lebanon]

actually it was my thread and cant say it was fully legal , although i did mention their copyright but each site user should obtain their strict permission to use it ( just to be clear ) , but again i know me neither any has obtained that , so the thread is over

It wasn't even remotely legal. The following is from the IMDB website (http://www.imdb.com/help/show_article?conditions).

Well it was certainly a nice hack idea!
