| Yep, the API is now basically useless and you can't use it in production. All because of some anonymous greedy dickheads. |

| Get the metadata from Anna. At least now it's freely available. Also it's unfair to call Anna greedy. There can't be much money in giving stuff away for free. |

| ▲ | MarsIronPI 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I really hate people using terms like "theft" or "piracy" to refer to the act of artificially-limited copying. Copying something does not take anything away from the person you're copying from inherently. Theft does. And piracy is like theft, but with murder and kidnapping too. |
