this is a complex issue, on one hand I agree , theft is theft..... however I also feel that once an artist or copywrite holder , makes the manufaturing cost, plus a good profit, then sharing old dated material should be ok.   just my 2 cents. :)

for example: I am sure EVERYONE here has Namco "Pac-Man" on thier cabs right? Of course you do....... did EVERYHERE pay for REAL PC board to make the dump...... some may have, I bought it years ago and got robbed in the process ( another story, another time).  Most however got from {censored by saint - no ROMs sites please} and someother rom site...... I don't feel that is wrong if you did get that way........ mainly because Namco made over 40 mill the first year the darn game, and has made over 200 million in re-releases ever since........ so if somone gets the 38kb materpiece now , I don't think it will hurt namcos chance of making sure thier familys eat at night....... On the same side however........ it is wrong to steal La noir...... Rockstar has not made thiere ends yet, however in five or 6 years, I think they should lighten up a little,
... any way there is no real correct MORAL answer , but to say stealing is stealing....... but there are many HUMAN variants that make this issue, highly debatable....... As it has been since the rise of the internet in 1993?:)

( the views of Madison Lastrega do reflect the views of this forum or any other of its affiliates....... and should be taken as, for what they are... OPINIONS, and are by the way like ---uvulas---, we all have them and not matter what you think they all stink, are at least somtimes.... :) )

Xiaou2:

Ill just say this...

 That there are many things that are Legal, but are not Moral or Right.

 This world is full of colors and shades... Its not just Black and White.

 Every time I see a  B/W  post or reply , (which sadly seems to be more and more often)
I fear dearly for the future.

 Hitlers rise to power, was by use of a phony terrorist attack, exploiting weak minds with their fears guiding them, and their inability to differentiate what was "Really" right or wrong (rather than instructed, or written as Law).

By the way, proceeds from the book help pay for this website.

So this site is probably $99.96 for every 3 years including Domain & SMF (free).

Advertisements and book - $99.96 = profit$.

Not bad at all Saint!  :applaud:

--cream-filled twinkie--. You missed the word "help." People like you make me wonder sometimes why I bother. The server is $1100 or so a year.
