+The Movie DB API
+================
+
+Author: Stuart Boston (Omertron AT Gmail DOT com)
+
+This API uses the TheMovieDB.org API as specified here http://api.themoviedb.org/
+
+Originally written for use by YetAnotherMovieJukebox (YAMJ) http://code.google.com/p/moviejukebox/
+But anyone can feel free to use it for other projects as well.
+
+TheMovieDB.org is an excellent open database for movie and film content. I encourage you to check it out and contribute to keep it growing.
