Introduction

Some features in My Movies requires that your user account has gained a specific amount of donation or contribution points. While My Movies is in it's basics a free product, we would like to reward users who contribute to the software development either by donating money to the project, or by participating in building and improving our data service. You can see which features requires points by reading this page.

If you would like to evaluate one or more of these features, you can request a 21 day trial of 2,500 points - notice though, that you can only use this request feature once per user account. Please see this page for details.

Donation and Contribution points will never be required for essential features of the default My Movies Client or Server/Client product, however it will often improve existing features, or serve as a purchase option for other products. As a user you then have three options; either you can use the features with the limitations they have, you can donate money to gain the points you require, or you can contribute to titles on the WebService to improve your amount of contribution points. And, you can of course, combine Contribution and Donation points.

When donating or contributing, the points rewarded to your account will also gain you a rank on the My Movies WebSite, when participating in forum discussions, and on the user ranking page. Donation and Contribution points are ranked equally, and your earned points can be a mix of both. You can always see the amount of contribution and donation points on the My Movies forum, by logging in, and clicking the "My Profile" link. Notice that an earned rank never affects your ability to receive free support on our forums.
