"all 5 of them" ... and how many hours between them?
Sure South Korean copyright/censorship law is not quite as draconian as some of China and North Korea ( http://www.rfa.org/english/korean/2007/07/17/korea_wave/ ) but some laws (as well as trade pressure: in many regards it is almost an overnight thing as far as the economy is concerned) there can make it a bit easier than the US, Europe and the other traditional markets (yeah you read correctly).

"mentioning you downloaded a rom regardless of where the download links are located is piracy"
It may get a bit more complex if the EULA is involved but I would argue against that with regard to fair use.
Also if that is also the case, I murdered 400 people last night...... wonder how long murderer groupies take to appear.

""This isn't a bad game, I might even buy the real one""
This last DVD rental was not bad either, I might go and buy myself a copy.

"Who's to say this site isn't monitored"
Given this perhaps is the largest gba/ds (although I suppose that is now Nintendo) "piracy" dedicated site (I reckon DCemu and maxconsole are bigger but they also do the other consoles to a far greater extent than is done here) I should find it very hard to believe it is not monitored to some degree.

No EULA will stand in cort. Afaik

What makes you lauging about this ? This isn't good for our site... (yeah, we don't upload them, but we list them)


yep its not against the law to talk about roms or "list" them. So nothing would happen to gbatemp.

No but mentioning you downloaded a rom regardless of where the download links are located is piracy.

Who's to say this site isn't monitored. It's especially obvious when someone says "This isn't a bad game, I might even buy the real one"......

if you seriously think nintendo havent been monitoring this site for yrs then your crackers
i'm damn sure that people from nintendo visit this site on a regular basis and even take part in conversations
but they can monitor it all they want because they will NEVER find illegal rom images on our servers and that's a FACT
