As I was told in no uncertain terms, the IMDb is a completely separate company that Amazon basically has nothing to do with. They told me this after I complained to Amazon over the fact that the dictators running the IMDb banned me from the message boards for nothing more than critisizing their policy of refusing to issue warnings to people who break the rules, refusing to explain why a message or user was deleted and refusing to ever reconsider such actions under any circumstances. I'd never broken the rules in any way, but some staff member decided to ban me over the comments I made. Of course I have to guess at the reason, since nobody on the IMDb staff will tell you anything and the clause in the site's terms about arbitration of disputes is a bald-faced lie. (NOW it mentions monetary disputes, at the time it said ANY disputes) The IMDb is run by a bunch of petty dictators who ban people on a whim, with no absolutely no oversight or recourse for people who have been unfairly banned. When told about this, Amazon basicallt told me that they couldn't do a thing about it as they have no control over the IMDb whatsoever. I have no idea why the IMDb claims to be an "Amazon.com company", since Amazon clearly has no influence over them. Be careful about implying that Amazon owns the IMDb.

Sure it's not cause our politicians have not yet bowed to the overloards and passed the copyright corporation law ? “And the reason its US only is because the advertisers are only paying when American people watch the commercials.”
