@Elrhodeo,
I think at this point its somewhat of a mroal question for you, which is fine. I won't argue with you on it because its your opinion, I just wanted to give the info I had on what was going on around here.
I will say that you should expect others to debate you on the merits of those morals because a lot of people know that ioi does a lot of hard work around here along with several of the mods (ie TheSource, MrStickball, etc...) and I think you will find the idea that they somehow just rode the back of NPD annoys folks. I would say they still worked hard for what they have created and for me that is good enough to justify that they have taken the data from NPD beyond what any normal person would be able to do and did something more.
Its sort of like how wierd Al does a parody and because he goes that extra mile and actually makes it his own and works with it and changes it, he isn't in violation of any copyright laws etc...
Thats how I look at it anyways.
