Summary: • I prefer themoviedb.org (TMDb) than IMDb. I always use TMDb first to find titles. If I can not find the title I am looking for with TMDb, then I use IMDb second.

Strength: • TMDb has less risk of censorship and abuse. Because the data you add to TMDb is owned by you the not-for-profit community. Instead of being owned by a for-profit corporation such as IMDb. Sources below. ___ • According to TMDb, “We do not claim any ownership right in the Contributions that you post on or through this Site. After posting your Contributions on this Site, you continue to retain any rights you may have in your Contributions”. ______ • Source: https://www.themoviedb.org/terms-of-use ______ • Archived source: http://archive.fo/Jsz0j ___ • According to IMDb, “All content included on [IMDb] site in or made available through any IMDb Service, such as text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips, video clips, digital downloads, data compilations, and software, is the property of IMDb” ______ • Source: https://www.imdb.com/conditions ______ • Archived source: https://archive.fo/8JEo7

Challenge: • TMDb presently has less movies than IMDb. But it is increasing. Has of December 2018, TMDb has 2,127,000 titles, compare to 5,626,000 titles with IMDb. Sources: ___ • TMDb ______ • Source: https://www.themoviedb.org/about ______ • Archived source: http://archive.fo/ty69T ______ • Calculations: 432473 Movies+78035 TV Shows+102720 TV Seasons+1514589 TV Episodes = Roughly 2,127,000

TMDb has potential but lacks things like Alternate Versions, Soundtrack listings, Filming Locations, Goofs, Trivia, etc. which, unfortunately, still makes IMDb indispensable. Also, needs some kind of TV episode tracking, which seems like kind of a no-brainer. It has a much cleaner & nicer look to it than IMDb's junky page.
