Donkbaca:

One thing I continuously find mind boggling about this forum is that selling/distributing ROMs is a no-no (so all the regulars just do it over on KLOV), but bootleg artwork is a-ok. We've even got a guy paying people for high resolution scans of artwork so he can turn around and sell it illegally here.

Fair game on that one, although it is hardly mind-boggling. Only one company has ever come after anybody for artwork and they don't own the rights to that artwork anymore.
But, really, nobody goes to KLOV to find ROMs.
Donkbaca:
Maybe because at the old arcades, you had to pay to play the game, but you could look at the artwork for free, so people think that you should have to pay for the game, but you should be able to get the artwork for free? :dunno
