I noticed the announcement at the top of this forum dealing with ROMs posted by Orion.
You cannot:
Post or distribute roms/copyrighted material or links to roms/copyrighted material via forums or PMs.
Post an URL and give further directions to a page with roms/copyrighted material or rom/copyrighted material links
That sounds nice that you all are interested in keeping ROM piracy out of the forums for the most part.
But I constantly come across threads where people sit there and explain how to copy and burn Playstation CD's and DVD's, or refer to it in some manner.
Frankly I don't see how you can seperate the 2, seeing as how both Roms and CD's are copyrighted materials, which would go against those rules. Also since Roms and Iso are generally the same thing only in different formats, I don't see how those wouldn't be against the rules either.
Maybe it's just me but I find it slightly hypocritical that some piracy is ok to talk about and some isn't.
I don't really want to single anyone out but the post that made me write this, was a post made by Mottzilla as follows...
Mottzilla: If you got a cd writer you should chip your psx and start copying everything. Best way to get games Go to all the rental places and rent all the good games, copy them, and never need to rent em again or buy em. - excerpt from Axel's "I Just Got It!" thread :eyebrow:
Sorry Mottzilla, don't feel singled out, there are plenty others.
So it's ok to discuss pirated materials. Its ok discuss how to pirate materials youself. But the only thing that's not ok is to ditribute these materials using the forums... that just doesn't sound right to me... maybe it's just me...
What does everyone else think ??
I think AGN needs to make up its mind already :blah:
Cheerio
