Found Old Games?

[Marcem]

It isn't illegal if you have owned the game before. Also, who cares? Limewire is illegal and people still use it. Same principle. :/

It is, it's only legal if you rip the ROM yourself, idiots.  ROM sites say it's legal for whatever reason, because they want people to THINK it's legal, durr.

Even if you are correct and somehow know laws,

Limewire is not illegal.
They're not held responsible for the stuff you download.
Most of the content on there is illegal.
Some are freeware.

[ryanb31394]

It is generally illegal considering 95% of it's content is NOT free

Once again, LIMEWIRE IS NOT ILLEGAL. It doesn't matter what content is on it, it's not illegal. Even if it was 100% illegal, the program wouldn't be illegal.

If the content is illegal then it's blamed on whoever put that stuff on Limewire. Simplified and solved.

False. Limewire is not illegal. They do not distribute the content. It's a peer to peer network, as in, you're downloading from other users.

Uh, so, if many people do illegal things, it's legal?

No, but nobody cares unless they do it on a massive scale/sell the downloaded items.

[Jsk2003]

forget this argument for the past page, Limewire isn't illegal, most of the things on it are, thus you blame the uploaders, not the software people use to share it.

Ryan, we at Blockland forums have a rule against piracy and any of the sort.

[ryanb31394]

I realize there is a rule against piracy. I have never meant the limewire program is illegal. If you have downloaded a game off of the internet as I did, and used an emulator as I did, then as long as you previously owned the game the downloading/playing of the ROM is not illegal. If you don't understand these last three sentences then you have a disease that causes mental handicapation.

[Jsk2003]

If you buy a game, return it, and then pirate it, it's illegal.

If you buy a game, and then pirate it, it's illegal.

If you buy a game, and then burn it yourself for backup reasons, it's legal.

What you're doing is illegal.

[ryanb31394]

It isn't pirating. And even if it is. WHO. THE. HELL. CARES. Yal still haven't answered this yet. Nobody does. Know why? Because everyone does it. Anyway, idk if copywrite and stuff is the same, but patents end/go invalid after 20 years........

Hai guys, in this thread we discuss such and such about old games that we recently found.

A couple days ago i found a couple games in this old case of games. I found Lego Island, Nerf Blaster Arena, a couple sims games like sims2, sims2deluxe, sims pets unleashed, enforcer(idk what that is), and marine corps. I tried marine corps but i dont have the CD-Key :(

The Sims 2 is old? Wat.

I still have a couple of moving boxes full of old computer crap and games, good memories.
