Do you really have to delete roms/isos within 24 hours or less? This is an extreme debate that people exaggerate over, and I tend to get very frustrated over it

>> No.6127983

No you don't, it's a thing ppl and websites say to get out of legal trouble, but in most places in the world you would never, ever get in any legal trouble for downloading roms, or pirating anything for that matter.

Why do you get frustrated over it? The only place you would ever see this was on rom sites.

>>6127981
I would just do it to be safe. Is it that hard for you do just delete and re download them?

>> No.6128021

>>6127983
No.

In most places in the world, there's some kind of legal trouble you could get into, but nobody other than Nintendumb seems to care.

Also, that really wouldn't work as any sort of legal argument. No judge in any court on this planet would accept "Well, yeah, I made money from ads on a site where I primarily offered pirated media for free, but it's cool 'cause I told everyone who downloaded that they HAD to delete it within 24 hours! It doesn't count!"

Whoever started saying that was retarded on the first place, like whoever started the rumor that undercover cops had to tell you they were cops.

Unless you're hosting roms on a website I wouldn't worry too much.

Also, you have serious autism.

You're probably more likely to get in trouble downloading the same roms over and over again every day rather than just saving them like a non faggot

The issue is how would authorities even know you downloaded them to begin with? Either top government spies are monitoring your online activity, meaning you have bigger problems to worry about, or the site providing them was caught and forced to provide a list of all IPs who visited it and downloaded something, and even then they can't prove it was you doing it, not to mention the cost of chasing down a million leads.

I'm pretty sure that's not an actual law, how would you even enforce it?

How the fuck is stealing not against the law? I'm not against pirating, but come now, you can't be that dumb. The part where you're right is that they can't enforce it because the money involved and bc they would be arrresting like 50% of people who actually know how to use the internetz.

>> No.6129570

>>6129562
it's not against the law because there's nothing actually being stolen. you could theoretically be sued for making copies and selling them though.
