^so howâd it get constructed? And, who is feeding it?
As I said earlier, I'll be sending an e-mail to our 7 GSoC students asking that they come say hi next week, so hopefully people will be around to say hi back. ;)
How do you think those 40 musicologists check on data?

zas: I don't think releasing a new version of picard allows switching to https for the web service any time soon - half the world is most likely not going to get that new version for at least several months
Mineo: this is why we need to release soon, we will not switch to https-only until main apps are compliant enough

Yes ofc ;) i think we need to understand "commercially significant" as "commercially significant for Music Reports".

What are the odds MB is one of those âvariety of sourcesâ?

I guess it does not matter...unless I can find âspecific informationâ supporting a claim that they use our database...they arenât going to talk to me. :/

Plus they are "Delaware-based" according to WP, while it is quite unobvious from their website (contact in CA) ;)

because it is the most favorable corporate environment legally
rahulr: basically, there are a core issue with the way 301 responses are handled (Picard handles them as a 302, which isn't much an issue for now), but the PR i made needs to be tested
There are crowd-sourced metadata sites that aren't *Brainz? :-P

Yeah, I realize that, it just seems like a dick move for a commercial service like Plex to just use MB directly when free competitors have done it a lot better
