Contributions, especially those adding cast and crew, must include the source of the data in the contribution notes.  We will be taking a harder line on this requirement going forward, so please include the source when you contribute.

        I don't think so you are using imdb as a source, what is not allowed due to copyright issues?



    That would be plain ridiculous... it's not like you actually copied it, especially in the case of merely a title. Maybe we should have some code, like : got the info from BDMI .


This is not a wink wink, nudge nudge "rule".  We do not want IMDB data, or data from any third party database, entered into DVD Profiler.  The reason for this is that they have invested much time and money (as we have) into generating and maintaining their database.  Copying their database is theft.  If that weren't enough reason, third party databases routinely spike their data with "poison" data - false data designed to identify and prove cases of theft.

The requirement for naming the source is not designed to allow Invelos plausible deniability.  If the submitted data came from the IMDB or another source, we need to know that so we may properly decline the submission.  Falsely stating the source of data in an attempt to bypass this will result in an immediate and permanent ban from contributing.

Copying cast and crew entries from another entries is permissable.  Just list that as your source.  You should try to verify that the version of the film is the same before the copy, and be sure to check the contribution notes of the source profile.

I think KEN's intent is very clear..Oh i forgot in order to mak eYOU happy he must do more than make a publis statement....RIGHT!

I remain  as to the relevance of this... but don't care to delve any further into the weird world that you live it. I'll remain in reality thanks! 

somehow this topic has gotten off-topic -- yet again --- with people's personal jabs at each other....

I am not sure why this always seems to happen here but alas, let me remind you all the topic was using voting NO because a user followed the screen credits instead of using credited as and allowing the name that was wrongly inserted into the old profile --- am I hitting a refresh in your minds yet???

maybe Ken or Gerri should create a specific forum for those who want to flame other users so that you all can keep your personal beefs out of the other topics... just a thought!!!

Sounds like a feature request to me, I'd second it
