It's not a justification regardless. It's illegal even if you do own the game. Only your own homemade copy is legal. I don't have the equipment to dump a cartridge ROM. --- DorkLink said I could borrow his signature so I did (see below): ... Copied to Clipboard!

The only unofficial emulator that can be talked about on this site without the mods throwing a hissy-fit is DOSBox, mainly because DOS operating systems aren't around anymore (and Windows superseded it) people can still legitimately use DOS floppies and disks to play it on them, as well as DOS games being sold legally online that is bundled with that.
Other than that, don't bother on this site. ... Copied to Clipboard!

So after a few years you should just stop getting paid for your work? Yes, after 90%+ of estimated sales from a product is earned, especially if you are dealing with a dead product from a support standpoint.

SmokeMassTree posted...So after a few years you should just stop getting paid for your work? I'm going to be a bit pedantic here and point out that copyright infringement doesn't really hinge on someone getting paid for work they did 20 years ago. If it did, there would be huge legal implications for selling used games. But piracy of old games does infringe on a potential market if the owner of the IP were to decide to release the games on modern platforms. It's a slight difference but one worth recognizing. If a company were to make a game and go out of business and have IPs that were not legally acquired by another entity...well, copyright infringement would make an interesting court case in this scenario. That said, companies are unlikely to pursue damages for games made more than about 10 years ago for a variety of reasons. It's not worth the court cost, since the damages would likely be close to nil, they typically have no plans to rerelease the games (Nintendo is almost the only company that will still do this, even more so when you go back 15 years), and some even look at it as essentially free advertising: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110801/03291515340/more-game-developers-realizing-piracy-isnt-necessarily-bad-thing.shtml TL;DR Piracy is unlikely to go away any time soon since it's a legally nebulous issues and isn't worth the trouble for developers to combat. --- "Nostalgia is a hell of a drug." -Magus 10 ...

Another justification for them activities arv thinks they seem to forget it's not just older games I don't mean to defend piracy. It's stupid, shortsighted, selfish, and probably (statistically speaking) illegal. But justice is blind, and you need to recognize the nuance in a given situation before you can condemn it. Piracy isn't going to go away any time soon, and that is in part because legally, piracy isn't something worth expending energy to ensure it goes away. That doesn't make it good. That doesn't make it bad either. That just means it's something you have to consider. Personally, I am a big fan of developers putting in little defenses against piracy, assuming they have proper protections in place to prevent any false positives. Look at Game Dev Tycoon, for a good example. I think their conclusion is unfounded, but dammit if I don't love their execution. --- "Nostalgia is a hell of a drug." -Magus 10 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Is the most common phrase uttered when people justify their evil ways but can't fool arv into believing you own rare games I would also argue it should be legal if you can't buy the game anymore-I have no problem paying for games but if it goes out of production/doesn't get a digital release, I'm still going to play it and do not care if it's considered legal or not. --- Mod me?

Therefore, if they aren't taking money for the work, it's okay to pirate it, because they've already saying they're cool with the harm piracy would do to them. --- This is my signature.

Software piracy isn't theft. Software isn't physical property, it's all licensed to the end user. This is why different software licenses claim that you can't sell software with those licenses.
