think if you own the games you downloaded no one will blame you, as security back up or kinda that, so you won't live in fear xd; but who will bother to download games which he already owns:.

I think they do.I remember seeing in the Guitar Hero: On Tour commercials a microSD slot in the cart in the DS.WarioN64 said:Its as illeagal as going into a shop and robbing a game. I think its okay to dump your own DS Games and put them on a cart as backups. By the way, don't game developers use flashcarts to test their own games.
This holds true for most games like Nintendo's in-house ones, but good 3rd party developers can get raped by this as they can't break into the mainstream because the people who actually wanted the game download it so there arent enough sales to make it look like a good game to the uninitiated.Guild McCommunist said:It's right between raping a prostitute and throwing her body into the river.
lol.
QUOTE(Guild McCommunist @ Oct 15 2009, 08:39 AM) Not really. It's as illegal as bootlegging movies, but the fact is that no one cares. The internet can't be regulated to stop it and it's an issue that doesn't really hurt people. Big deal, greedy CEO's get a slightly smaller, albeit gigantic, paycheck. I doubt they'll be losing a wink of sleep if a few thousand copies of a game are pirated.
its like looking at a vagina at the age of 10kama said:My brother has recently become paranoid by the fact that if we download a game, regardless of if we own it or not, we will be fined to the point where we can no longer live properly. So:
What happens if caught?
How often do people get caught?
How easy is it to get caught?
Do they track every download you do?
Thanks

QUOTE said:What is a DMCA notice and what should I do if I receive one? - A DMCA notice is pretty much a generic form with certain info filled out that points to an individual user who is believed to be infringing on copyright laws. It sent either directly from the copyright holder or their legal representative. It is not to be confused with a regular © infringement notice as it specifically pertains to a violation of the DMCA amendments to © laws. It is simply a warning that says "Hey you. We're watching you! Don't do that please!" but it rarely leads to further legal action. It looks something like this:
Quote:[return address]
Demand Under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act
Dear [Sir | Madam]:
On [date], I noticed that your [site | email newsletter | electronic message | electronic product] [exact name and URL, ISBN, or ISSN, if available], dated [apparent date of infringement], includes an [attributed | unattributed] copy that infringes on my exclusive right in the [story | article | review] [writer's title]. According to my records, I have not authorized this use.
Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, this letter serves as actual notice of infringement in the event of legal proceedings. The information in this notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, I state that I am the owner of an exclusive right infringed by the specified material. Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. §§ 512©(1)© and 512(g), a telephone or other oral response is not satisfactory.
Sincerely,
Darth Vader
It may be sent to the user directly or a slight variation is sent to your ISP who then acts as a middle man in forwarding the notice to it's user.
The action that is most commonly recommended to those who receive such a notice is what is known as the "ostrich defense." This means that one does NOT reply to the notice and simply acts as if they never even received it. This will be important should they ever be brought up on charges as it will benefit them to seek legal advice before ever making contact with issuer of the notice. If you get such a letter via snail mail, you can treat it the same way as it is not a notice of legal action. It is up to you if you want to seek legal advice at this point.
Once a notice is sent, the copyright holder or his legal people can request that a subpoena from the court be issued to an ISP to gain the identity of an alleged infringer. They will not do this without weighing the risk vs. reward of pursuing further legal action. Should you receive a notice threating legal action if you don't pay them a settlement or notice that legal action has been filed against you, immediately seek the legal advice of someone who is willing to fight in your defense. Don't settle for anyone who will give in to these APOs' threats or wants you to plead guilty.
