So in the UK all forms of copying copyrighted content are still illegal, which essentially makes roms illegal in the UK (unless approved or provided by the developer/publisher). I'm curious whether the length of copyright (protects the content for 95 to 120 years) has encouraged piracy.Īctually, reading up on it, a private copy was made legal and then quickly re-made illegal in the UK. ** Self-entitlement (any non/excuse will do). ** People wish to own content that can no longer be legally acquired. ** Children unable to afford it and/or the parent denying it. ** People who wish to enjoy content but cannot afford it. I believe it is illegal in the USA and UK, however a lot of people consider it as acquiring the backup without all the effort.Īs for the causes of piracy that is exceptionally varied.

If you own the content but download another persons backup, then you start moving into the morally grey area. Acquiring a digital copy of content you do not legally own is illegal. I believe this is the case for the USA and UK. That said, I still wont accept people talking up piracy like it's their right.ĭiscussing it is one thing, talking it up like it's totally acceptable is another.ĭepending on the country you are in, making a rom (or backup) is not illegal. Quoting: kit89 Quoting: liamdaweFor once, I am inviting discussion on it due to my own confusion on the legalities of roms. I don't think emulators themselves are illegal anywhere, so that's one perfectly legal way to play your retro games on Linux. If it's not legal in your country to make copies of games you physically own, you can only use Dolphin for homebrew games.įor other systems however you could use a device like the Retrode to emulate your cartridge based games without dumping the ROM.

You have to use an actual Wii or a special optical drive to create an ISO and open the file in Dolphin. IIRC as a means of copy protection Nintendo optical discs have to be read backwards. Unfortunately Dolphin can't read Wii and Gamecube games straight from disc. That actually makes me really sad to see that the UK is so bloody backwards.
Quoting: liamdaweActually, reading up on it, a private copy was made legal and then quickly re-made illegal in the UK. You must however, stay within our rather small set of rules or else it will end up turning into something like 4chan or reddit. I am not telling anyone what to say, I am laying out clear rules on what isn't acceptable on my website.Īlso, no one is telling anyone what to think, this is what comments and discussions are for, for people to voice opinions and I welcome it. The link to our rules has always been there, for all to see. I can respect that GOL strives to just be an outlet of Linux game news and it does a great job at that, but to think this was an open forum of discussion was apparently a mistake.To think that GOL has no moderation is a mistake on anyone's part. Support developers, buy their games, don't be a dick."īeing told what (not) to say and what (not) to think does not sit well with me. Quote "Piracy is not cool, we do not support it and don't want to hear/read about it. Quote "comments that claim we are censoring you will be removed." This thread has me taking the role of insensitive jerk today but I can't believe what I'm seeing. Quoting: AnxiousInfusion Quoting: badberThere are actually rules that forbid simply discussing the ethics of piracy on this site? Wow.

Reasonable discussion about how you feel about piracy is okay, but telling people you happily pirate games and software is not.I think that's fair enough really? Quoting: GOL Rules-No pirate links (zero tolerance on that!), we do not support piracy, please buy games and support developers. At least that's the impression I got from reading the comments.Pretty much. I don't think the site wishes to be seen promoting the use of piracy, however the site has no issue discussing the ethics of piracy.
