In a counter example it is great that IMDB continues working after Amazon acquisition. I think this acquisition was neutral, they removed the discussion forums and the site pretends to be "Web 2.0" but the data can be downloaded from: https://www.imdb.com/interfaces/ . The license is not permissive but the data remains there.

Sure, they didn't shut IMDB down however. Amazon pulled the plug on CDNow after purchasing them.
