IMDB now automatically creating user accounts when you are signed into Amazon

I discovered the hard way that IMDB is now automatically creating accounts for you if you are signed in with amazon and it appears details such as my name and email are being shared without my consent. Several other people are also reporting this.

Perhaps related to a recent change, where you now must be logged in to IMDB.com in order to view the User Reviews for movies.

Are there any open alternatives to IMDB?

+1 for TMDB. A breath of fresh air in comparison, simple but elegant. Also has a comprehensive API.

Amazon has been an absolutely terrible custodian of IMDb. I am still nostalgic about user forums...
