Plus... I always thought it was based on the DVD content...

It sure explains the false rating created to please 2 or 3 users. Not really since it's an interpretation of the DVD content forced fed to all of us. Just like this adult genre is

having read the thread, I thought the point of the Genre = Adult, was purely so the program could filter out these profiles both within the on-line (if that option was chosen) and within the program using Tools / Parental control so that adults could choose what their children could see (e.g. cover).

No, since the next time I will update the database files the program change will be force on me. It sucks that as a paid costumer I can't upgrade because of a couple of users...

Again, maybe I am missing something, but upgrading the program doesn't force you to use that genre.  I upgraded and, unless I unlock my profiles and accept the genre change, will never see it.

I don't need a stranger taking arbitrary decision to told me what I can or can't do with my stuff or to tell me if my movies are for adult or not.

No, you don't, and neither do I, but this isn't about what you or I need.  This is about what Ken has to do, to cover his butt, so that some idiot with an agenda doesn't try and sue him out of existence.

I notice that google has placed an adult content warning on your blog.  What Ken is doing here is no different.

It isn't Google who does it, it's me

But it's real adult content and I know everything that is on my blog, so my decision is a logical one and not an arbitrary one done by a screener with no clue except a cover and a title.

If they own all the movies ever released in the world I will remove my arbitrary comment. If they don't they judge on a title and a cover (the same as you do) and this is arbitrary by definition.

I never had a problem with the idea of protecting the children (I don't even know from where that came from). But it is something that each user can decide by himself, the software can do it locally and you can do it by personalizing your info for the online database (as shown in the last picture I've posted). This isn't something that had to be force fed to everybody. Who am I to told you (general you) that your teenager can't watch American Pie? Who are you (against a general one) to told me that my teenager can't watch Ilsa?

Like I say it's personal bussiness, I don't need a nameless screener to told me what I can or can't do.

It just sad that you had decided already that you are against what I wrote anyway...

Actually, I looked up several reviews of the film.  While not the same as watching it, it is far from arbitrary.  Even if it were, as this is Ken's software and database, he is well within his rights to be as arbitrary as he wants.

I never said you had a problem with the idea of protecting children.  I was talking about Ken protecting his family from some nut with an agenda who decided to sue because there were no parental controls in the software.

Who is telling you that your teenager can't watch Ilsa?  Unless I have missed something somewhere, all you are being told is that, for the main db, movies like this have to have 'adult' set as the genre.  If you don't want to set them that way in your local, you don't have to...you just can't contribute them that way.

How you keep it in your local is personal bussiness, and nobody is telling you what you can or can't do where that is concerned.  For the main database, however, we are all being told what we can and can't do.  Some users prefer IMDb mined cast and crew.  That is fine for their local, but they can't contribute it.  I don't like my cast in alphabetical order or order of appearance, but if I want to contribute, I have to enter them that way.  Marking these kinds of films as 'adult' is no different.

I suppose I could say the same thing.

If you don't own the DVD in question, then they won't show up in your database. So, isn't your arguments against such data irrelevant? How can children, or anyone else for that matter, see something that isn't there?

First, it isn't my argument.  I am just stating my opinion on what I think Ken is doing.  Second, I don't have parental controls set in my program, so I don't know how it deals with things such as 'Search by Title'...or any other online function for that matter.

Since I was speaking generically, I should have posted (instead of "...your argument...") "So, isn't the argument against such data irrelevant".

I'm sorry TheMadMartin if you thought I was specifically addressing you and your comments.

No worries.  Simple misunderstanding.
