Allow me to clear up any misconceptions.  We don't have anything against IMDB - in fact the opposite - we have admiration for their efforts and see value in allowing our users quick access via menu option to their site.  Similarly, we link to a variety of other sites (rottentomatoes, metacritic, apple, youtube, wikipedia, yahoo, etc) via the profile links feature.  Linking to these sites is a win-win - it generates some amount of traffic for them and provides value to our users.

What we do not allow is submission of data copied from any third party database in violation of that database's policy.  If you would like that policy changed you are welcome to discuss it with those third parties.  In the mean time our hands are tied and we will not be party to what amounts to data theft.

So, copying the cast from IMDB is not allowed.  Nor is (for instance) copying the text of a review from rottentomatoes and submitting it as your own via the review submission feature.  We respect copyright and licensing, and are very familiar with the effort and resources that go into maintaining user-submitted databases of this size.  We will not budge on this policy.

Note that this policy covers the online database (contribution) system only.  As previously mentioned, we do not attempt to control any aspect of the data you keep locally.  That is between you and whatever data source you choose.

I hope that clears things up.

Per rules both Cast and character names have to be as credited in the actual movie credits. I seldomly ever seen IMDB match the credits for both cast names and the character names that they played. So what you want to do is take the cast list (actor names and character names) and crew list from the actual credits.

In French via Google Translate:

En français par l'intermédiaire de Google Translate:

Par les règles, tant Cast et les noms de personnages doivent être aussi crédité au générique de film réel. J'ai peu souvent jamais vu IMDB correspondent aux crédits pour les deux noms exprimés et les noms des personnages qu'ils jouent. Donc ce que tu veux faire, c'est prendre la liste cast (noms de l'acteur et les noms de personnages) et la liste d'équipage de l'crédits réels.
