Good luck. This data is worth more than the actual revenue and income for most of these companies. It's how they negotiate for carriage in different avenues and grow at all. I've often seen it as the cause of make or break deals between various parties when negotiating said distribution. On the same point, most of this data has to be provided back to the content originator per contract anyway for billing purposes. Even if its free to users, someone's paying the royalty bills.

Who's your target market here? Google l4m3 and hit me up, I can answer most of your questions on this if you can give me some more data.
