There are other sources for data, notably Rotten Tomatoes seems to have a good api that seems to cover most bases for info that IMDB has. I'm contemplating moving to use a different api to get movie information.
I wanted to gather feedback to see if anyone feels strongly for or against this idea, I'm guessing I'll probably just add it as a separate scraper but it seems that some of the IMDB stuff is integral to Ember at the moment.
Thoughts and suggestions are more than welcome
For me its perfect like it is now.
Best feature is that I can get plot info and stuff from OFDB (german) but rating and other infos from imdb.
