> Similarly, data should be open to stimulate innovation... At OP3, we apply this philosophy to both our podcasts and our data. Currently, OP3 focuses mainly on providing data to podcasters, then to podcast applications, and finally to the industry as a whole. The idea is not to allow the download of a complete database like PodcastIndex.org does, but to provide specific statistics and analyses. Users can get data on specific podcasts if they know their URLs. We may consider making the data more widely available on a paid basis in the future to support the project.
That is not open data as I understand it. How can data be called open when it's locked on someone's server and I have to pay them to access it? What's the difference between this open data standard and collecting data about users and selling it to marketing companies?
