Re: Need help Scraping a couple of websites

illegal? Against Copyright, and maybe not permitted by End-User License.

But illegal? You're not going to go to jail if you scrape IMDB, as an individual user. If you do it as part of a company, that company will probably be issued a cease and desist… And if they don't comply they'll get IP blocked, and possibly sued. But once again, I suspect that would be civil, and maybe not criminal? I'm not sure…

But IMDB can't do anything to prevent someone from scraping the web site, as a individual, as long as you don't draw attention to yourself.
