Ask YC: API/source for movie showtimes & cinema locations

Is there an easy way to get movie showtimes and cinema locations to use in websites?

It seems scraping is legally questionable. mashmaps.com (google maps + showtimes mashup) got a Cease & Desist from Hollywood Media Corp for scraping Google.

Does anyone here know where this information can be sourced for free or licensed from?

This has been scraping google for almost 3 years now. I've used nothing but it.

Why would you get a cease and desist for publishing local cinema times? That's rather ridiculous.
