Re: A89: Me distributing roms.


nope man.  not everything put up for free on a website is public domain. in
fact, usually it isnt.  if it doesnt specifically say: "public domain" it
isnt.  ti retains all copyrights to the roms, the files, etc.
they CAN say they dont want anyone to mirror them, and it is legally
binding.
sorry to burst your bubble.
