Wow, only 20 posts before Nazis made their first appearance.

welp, that was a good run.
--- Quote ---Comparing Napster to Emulation is Idiotic.

why is that? the exact same thing could happen to the mamedev if the games companies decided to come down on them.
--- Quote ---People whom create emulators can not get in trouble via someone selling data they do not own.
--- End quote ---
shure they could, they are being enablers.
--- Quote --- Thats like suing someone who made a fork, because someone else was using it to eat other peoples food.
--- End quote ---
now THAT is idiotic. forks are public domain. go patent the fork and then we will talk.
--- Quote --- If the game companies had a problem with emulation, mame would have been put to bed AGES ago.

i believe they chose to fight from the other end, their intellectual property.
--- Quote ---Drawing Nazi-Snitch attention to such a thing however, is much more Dangerous that the actual wrong doing.
--- End quote ---
is this not why we are discussing this here and now? in a forum away from the hot bed?
--- Quote ---its pure IDIOCY to go after some kid selling ancient bootlegged material that can be found by many, for free anyways.. especially since the people buying it probably wouldnt pay for more than a few dollars for it, IF they had the money to spare.
--- End quote ---
while i agree the area is gray surrounding ROMS, one thing is certain... Selling someone else's IP for profit is illegal.
--- Quote ---Not only all that... but, you couldnt stop emulation if you wanted to. Theres too much material already out there.

Streisand effect.
--- Quote ---They still cant stop NEW music and NEW movie piracy.. and those are far more critical and worth chasing than old games that have already earned their money.
--- End quote ---
Streisand effect again. everybody knows the music and movie companies are money hungry so-and-so's.
--- Quote --- The typical responses like this, are from Extremists personalities. People who see the world in Black and White. People who will be your best friend one day.. then serve you up to the Nazi brigade the next.

So what? you want things gray? the reason the copyright law is the way it is, is because the law is GRAY and NOT black and white.
--- Quote --- I truly feel sorry for people like you. You have the most warped & unrealistic perspectives.. cant maintain personal relationships, cant enjoy life properly... are Always in fear, anxiety, and emotional distress.
--- End quote ---
no, don't bother. I'm just fine the way I am.
Vigo:
lilshawn came to the party locked and loaded. :cheers:
And as far as X2 calling HC a Nazi....again......am I missing some fun new game where we take anything he says and draw a nazi tie to it? I think I'll give it a go.
HC burns CD's, the Nazis burned books. Coincidence? I think not! :o
or
Rumor has it, Howard plays Wolfenstein, but loses on purpose.
or
There is a reason HC loves Mortal Kombat. Ever since that face-melting incident from when the fuhrer asked him to open that ark, he has been able to relate to Scorpion.

WTF just happened??? Dude, chill out. This is an arcade forum (in case you didn't know it). OMFG. :banghead:
CheffoJeffo:
Nice post, X.
Still maintaining that tenuous grip on reality, I see.
