The domain registrar uses Privacypost as email and I assume the service provider lives up to it's name, the phone number and P.O. box are fake, and the registrar name is just a randomly generated string of letters + that is all the info provided. http://www.pir.org/get/whois --- End quote --- Lol, it's whois protection, generates everything in the whois as fake. Some even give whois information of the company itself. |

--- Quote from: DnaUnstable on June 19, 2012, 09:59:29 PM ---If you own the disk or have the digital recite, its essentially the same as backing up the disk or downloading it to your computer. You have the right to back up your property, so they'd have a tough time arguing you pirated the game when you own the actual disk/cart Also don't think I'm defending piracy here, because I'm not. I think people who pirate are self entitled man-children. --- End quote --- I own an iPhone. Does that give me the right to a free iPhone for backup purposes? What about illegally downloading iOS? |

This is absolutely illegal. It's basically hosting ROMs online. |

I remember reading on the vNES site (So take it with a grain of salt) that it uses a loophole in the law that says the games would be rented, as they had physical copies of the games and the data wasn't permanently stored on your computer. If laws around renting haven't changed (and deals with streaming rights suggest that they have) it would be in a legal grey area. |

legal gray area and the fact that nintendo doesn't give a stuff is probably the reason this site has been up since '09. |
