Thomas Jentzsch Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Disassembling is not illegal... Are you sure? AFAIK every reverse engineering is illegal now. IIRC this was used as an argument against people who wrote programs that allowed to copy copy-protected "CDs". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Okay it may be technically illegal to have roms you don't own cartriges for, but I want saikyo to show me information that shows people are getting in trouble for having atari roms And if anyone was to get in trouble it would be AA first. It is insane to think you will actually get in trouble for having 500+ atari roms that you don't own carts for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikyo Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 @ bjk7382 Ok while I dont have any proof that anyone has as yet been prosecuted for having 2600 roms of games that they dont own in physical form The main fact is that they are still copyrighted and as we haven't heard any announcement in any way about whether or not they mind us using them they could easily prosecute at any time and I dont think Im gonna take that risk. Even though I know that they may not mind because AA is still online because they havent stated so I would be breaking the law if I did so (sad but true) (any way the fact that AA is still online means nothing of the sort I have heard that many REALLY ILLEGAL sites have stayed up for years and years without prosecution) @ Nukey Shay "The state of what?" the state of the roms legality Nukey @ Thomas Jentzsch "Thats what im doing with Thrust" Hmm I thought Thrusts copyright became PD in the year 1996?! And even if it isn't and they take offense any one can rename their games at any time so you aren't doing too much wrong! any way its a really cool remake of thrust well done!
