Not going to happen. Read the  TOS of IMDb. Their data is copyrighted and that is all there i to it.

This one where you can want it, but you won't see it.

So like I said you can wish, but it isn't going to happen. I would recommend that if you like IMDb you use them, you can track 10,000 title for free. The experience is that are an inaccurate source for data at best.

Yep. I only use (when doing reviews) for the main stars, but that's about it. I personally would not use them (even if it were allowed) in my DVDP database... In fact, whenever I see someone try to add cast and crew from IMDb, I literally shudder. *shudder*

Why not just visit IMDb.com if that is what you want? They have much better search capabilities and cross-referencing anyway...

I'd like to suggest a function to carry over Cast/Crew from other profiles, if there already exists a DVD/BD with the same movie. Would be very comfortable for re-releases. Would that be possible?

Perhaps where you are doesn't recognize International Copyright Agreements, if you don't that says muh, and if your country does not, that does not make it right .

This is already possible... just go to Edit the profile... go to the cast (or crew) list... right click the cast list for the profile (Right side list) and click copy. Then do the same with the new profile and click paste.
