Amazon already have a database like that, called imdb. ;)


Yeah, I meant one that wouldn't charge ~$15K for commercial access. One that would charge per db access would be nice.

But it's not exactly the money (after all fifteen grand, although excessive is not prohibitive) but the unreliability factor: if you're building a business on a db API there should be a warranty that the company won't decide to abandon it or cut your access unreasonably.


My point was that, seeing as Amazon own imdb, they probably don't charge themselves ~$15k for access.
