you don't seem to understand the difference between research
and plagiarism.
The HOL database represents countless thousands of hours of research, often having to cross reference the information from multiple sources whether they are the in-game credits, those printed in the game manuals as well as magazine reviews and even input from the authors themselves. This is a huge difference from stealing the data that has been compiled and dumping the data. The database is desingned to be an online reference and is constantly being updated.
Ok, so you've worked out a way to download the data from the HOL website. I don't think that it is something that you should have done but there is not much that we can do about it. However, we request that you do not distribute the the data and image archive. What you are doing is not much different from distributing pirated software.
If you like the site so much why not contribute like the many contributors that have supported us by scanning and providing us with data. Point people to the real thing rather than an out-of-date ripped version.
