Established Selling PHP scripts database! 10,000 listings! hotscripts listings

[kenni]

I have a database which holds up to 10,000 listings of PHP scripts.

It has category+listings+subcategories. Exact similar to:
http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/index.html

How much would you guys be offering to buy it for?

Hi kenni,

Are the listings original, or authorized? I recall a situation a while back where someone got in trouble for scraping content and listings from an existing script directory without permission and using it for their own site.

If the content is legal, I would be interested in making an offer.

I'd like a copy as well for oddsource depending on how many copies will be sold and if the content was legally obtained.

The data is really already extracted and stored onto the database for yourself. It doesn't scrape it. Is this legal? it has over 10,000 listings

I'm just wondering about where it was extracted from and if it was done with permission. If the data is all copied from HotScripts.com for instance, then there will be a legal issue.

Oh i see.. well it is all copied from Hotscripts.com.

In this case i won't be able to sell any copies off and also i will have to clear the database myself

anyone interested in any other databases?

I'd be interested in hearing more about this, if you have anything to point me in looking for information on this... (the previous guy getting in trouble)
