However, Saint obtained the permission of the sources before he included the information in Project Arcade.  I doubt this E-bay dude did that.
GoPodular.com:
Since he's basically selling a link on where to download ROM's, and (probably) Jakobud plans, I *know* he didn't obtain permission.

If you read the auction closely: "Note: Yes I know it can be annoying having auctions selling info", he's only selling links.  About 99% of us could pull a few bookmarks and put together an equal or better "e-book" than he has.  I could make one in under 30 minutes complete with fancy graphics.  I never would though.  I hate people that charge money for stuff like this.  Talk about taking advantage of people.  >:(

FWIW: It is illegal, and you can be arrested for providing information to where to buy crack.  But you wouldn't be prosecuted until they actually bought it.  At that point, you'd be an accessory to the distribution of a controlled substance (a felony I'm sure).  It could be proven that you knew that a crime was going to be committed and you knew that your action would help the criminal(s) commit the crime.  That's all that's needed to get you a 8'x8' room for a few years.  You'd have plenty of time for planning a new cabinet though!  ;)

I knew I should have used a different analogy...

I thought from the title "Sick really." that you were going to tell me a sob story about a guy who is taking a centipede cabinet and turning it into a HOTD3.

Now THAT's sick!   :banghead: :cry:
