: I don't care if he's making money or not off these ROMS. That's not the point. Whether I care or not about piracy is also not the point.

: What I *DO* care about is one guy ruining it for everyone singlehandedly. Wake up. You think the ROM legaility debate is over? Not by a longshot. I suggest you talk to Dave at vintagegaming and ask him what it was like with all the legal hassle or what it was like to have your host remove your whole page because of their hassle with the lawsuits.

There never was a debate..it is illegal period.

: Try thinking about the consequences of his actions before you defend him. I also suggest posting the question of whether or not it is a good idea to freely make all roms available on CD Rom to some of the other boards where developers and longtime followers frequent.

Duh, it's illegal, what else would they say.

: Just ask once if someone will make all the roms available in 1 download and see what attacks you get.

Only an idiot would ask this anyway.

: I don't care what Arcade2000 does until it affects me. This does. As long as he posts the roms are available on CD, which is highly frowned upon by the people who gave us MAME and the supporters themselves, you bet I'll attack his ignorant actions...

So is downloading them...rom site, cd what's the difference...ethically they are equal.

: : Your second statement about companies being miffed is also proof that you aren't concerned about piracy, only piracy as it affcts your access to ROMS. Get off your high horse buddy, you're not fooling anyone.

: : : I just hate seeing people ruin a good thing, which is what you are doing. And my point to Arcade2000 about Ebay was, "you might as well be selling them" not that he was.

: : : Can you figure out why some companies are getting a little miffed about widespread distribution of their ROMS? People like this guy are promoting copyright infringement. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that what he is doing is illegal...
