Re: A89: Me distributing roms.
yeah I do, and this is why. Now the company has no proof you didn't delete
it in 24 hours which doesn't break their software user agreement. while this
may be bad for the company finantially it's not only their fault but if a
company attacks you for posting their programs it'd have no trouble becoming
a supreme court case in a blink. Software companies have only one legal
right that actually can be exercised, that's Copyright laws. You can not
take that program and hex it to say SerialSoft Photoshop or whatever but
you'll notice that their are no laws protecting program distrobution for a
reason. It has been challenged and defeated on several occations.
Distrobution.. well life is a bitch and they can not make you remove it so
long as you disclaim that your using the software illegaly. Become a
lawmaker and fix it if you dont like it.
