DISCLAIMER
The data returned from these modules is in no way guaranteed, nor
are the developers responsible in any way for how this data (or lack thereof)
is used. The interface is based on URLs and page layouts that might change
at any time. Even though these modules are designed to be adaptive under
these circumstances, they will at some point probably be unable to retrieve
data unless fixed or provided with new parameters. Furthermore, the data
from these web sites is usually not even guaranteed by the web sites themselves,
and oftentimes is acquired elsewhere. See the documentation for each site-specific
module for more information regarding the disclaimer for that site.
Above all, play nice.
