The Movie Database Support

Hello everybody. I have been building an app over the past year for a university project and recently uploaded it to Google Play for a small alpha test. When checking this morning to see whether it had been published to the store yet I received a nice letter saying it was removed due to IP infringement.

This is the paragraph in the email which addresses the problem:

REASON FOR REMOVAL: Violation of the intellectual property and impersonation or deceptive behavior provisions of the Content Policy. Please refer to the IP infringement and impersonation policy help article for more information. Your app and/or elements of its listing on Google Play, including title, description, logo(s), or promotional screenshots must not include unauthorized usage of protected works belonging to a third party. Your app icon and promotional screenshots must not contain images that appear confusingly similar to existing products.

I don't know exactly what caused it to be removed as many other apps which use The Movie DB feature similar screenshots and so on.

I uploaded the screenshots I used for the listings, the basic logo and promo image, and the signed Android APK to my OneDrive account. If someone could please take a look at these for me and advice me on where I went wrong that would be great.

Screenshots/Logo: http://1drv.ms/1D7fngd Android APK: http://1drv.ms/1Ghz4hv

Due to security issues I don't expect you to download and install the APK, it is there incase you do feel the need to take a look.

I don't know how I can fix the app/listings or what the problem is.

Thanks in advanced for anyone who helps, Chris.

I have got success with an e-mail to Google with following content:

  1. Not claim ownershipof any of the images or data that is provide
  2. Comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
  3. Expeditiously remove infringing content when properly notified
  4. Faire use of the images such as Wikipedia
  5. App is a very specialised version of Wikipedia
  6. Use and reference to the TMDB Terms of Service: https://www.themoviedb.org/documentation/api/terms-of-use

Did u also have to obtain a commercial use license from TMDB?
