Outsourced Artwork through Elance
Malenko:
Ugh, editing my post for brevity.
Recreation not for profit isnt the same as editing for profit. Stop comparing the 2.
A collection of anecdotes is not data.
You are stealing from an artist, stop trying to justify it by saying people play MAME illegally.

Send me the link where I can pay for the mame romset that makes it all legal on my end. I am curious as to where I can pay the thousands of copyright holders all over the world for use of their wonderful and obscure games that they were lucky enough to have someone else preserve for them for free.

You can still buy their games in the 2nd hand market. By downloading them illegally you are taking money away from the 2nd hand stores that make a legitimate living by buying the legal licenses to the games and reselling them. Further, I know Capcom (at least) has released a "coin ops classics" compilation that would
Give you rom rights to the games.
I really don't care, just trying to point out the hypocrisy to a community that wouldn't exist except for the infringement of copyright laws they deride others for breaking.
Hoopz:
Is this argument this decades equivalent of USB v. PS/2?

Why do you keep bringing up ROMS? The initial issue wasn't ROMs, it wasn't even the legality of your "artwork", it was whether or not using a service like Elance is just as good as hiring a real artist.
