Ask HN: Why does some music labels hide their albums on Allmusic.com?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10412420Now and then when I visit http://allmusic.com and click an album I get an error page saying "Due to label restrictions, we are no longer permitted to display this information on AllMusic."I find this very strange, why on earth would a label restrict information about an album they have?So I asked Allmusic that question and got this response from Zac Johnson, Senior Product Manager: "If I felt as though I was comfortable going into the intricacies of the deals that are in place between a specific worldwide distributor and our data provider, I would detail it further, but the truth is that it's an area that I don't want to poke further."Example album: "The Definition" by Jon Bellion. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/jon-bellion-mn0003006966/discography (click the album link to see the error message)To see the response from Allmusic, go here: https://getsatisfaction.com/allmedianetwork/topics/some-albums-are-unreachableCan HN shed some light on what's going on?Oct 19, 2015 12:27 PM

Ask HN: Real Estate Devs, how did you acquire MLS listings?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10341118As those familiar with RE know, regional MLSes are the central hub for local property listings and the golden hoard of data protected by the dragon that is the local realty association.Getting an API key (from what I can tell) requires getting licensed as a REALTOR, finding a licensed broker to hire you, etc, etc.Are there any developers on HN who have built a RE app and would like to share their experiences? Did you pay for an API key, work out a deal with a broker, or what?I'd be much obliged for any help or advice. Thanks HN!Oct 6, 2015 6:22 PM

How Hacker News could help save an innocent man from life in prisonhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10323025A few months ago, I stumbled upon a Dateline NBC episode about a clean-cut Iraq-war veteran and father of four who inexplicably murdered an 18-year-old girl he had never met before. When I finished watching the show, I was confused: How did police prove he was the killer?As far as I could tell, the only thing he was guilty of was hearing gunshots, calling for help, and then trying to assist detectives. If you have 40 minutes, google "The Girl With the Blue Mustang" and see for yourself.I decided to start my own investigation. What I discovered is the single worst miscarriage of justice I have ever heard about in a first-world country. For the last ten years, Sergeant Ray Jennings has been serving a life sentence, even though there is gunshot-residue and DNA-testing that proves he is innocent, as well as eyewitness testimony that another, unidentified man fled the scene of the shooting while Jennings was radioing his own location to the responding officers so they could arrive as quicklOct 3, 2015 7:50 AM
