Here we go again...
Theft and copyright infringement are two separate things.

If I steal something from you, you do not have it any more. It was a item in your possession that is now in mine.

If I infringe your copyright, I have made a copy of the same thing you still have and can still sell to anyone willing to buy copies from you.

Fixed.

Oh, and I doubt Panzer (sp?) is really that kind of person. Always thought he was pretty nice. *shrugs* He's probably being sarcastic or something.
 
its not really stealing,
i mean everythings pirated nowadays.
and i own a few real games, the ones i actually like alot
because some of us dont have enough money to afford games like 40 $ each.
 
There's no way I'm buying 800 DS games in 14 months, and leaving 700 of them sealed and untouched. But I do have few dozen gigs on DS roms, and only a couple dozen games had the chance to go in my flashcart. (And that number isn't so far off from the number of DS games I actually bought brand new retail)

If wiidslover posts a picture of 800 DS games that were purchased in the last 14 months of which 700 games are still sealed and still lives in a decent house and being able to afford food, electricity, water, and car (+gas), I'll agree that buying games is the right thing to do.

Otherwise using a flashcart seems to be the right thing to do for people that make less than $250 thousand a month.

Edit: Spelling error
 
i dont have 800 games, i have about 20 or so i only buy games that i know are going to be good, i can post a pic if you would like, i am at work now when i get home i will get one up.

do you have the origanl game or a you stealing, i own my games and use backups only, i hope its the same for you.

Downloading games you own is 100% illegal.
Backing up your own games is also in the sketchy grey (gray?) area.

Playing the morals card while using a flashcart doesn't really work.
 
Physically, I don't steal. Not that it makes me look any better. I am fully aware that what I do is wrong.

On the bright side, I have bought a few PC games recently and I buy all my 360 games. Bought Brawl as well. I bought 2 seasons of 24? Does that absolve me?

yes for digital stuff, games, tv shows.

though if it a game is on sale I may buy depends on if I like it.

Anyways, the card was given to me by my sister. Plus, in the Philippines, a lot of things are pirated. From DVDs to games to whatever things you can think of. Heck, even the clothes are fake. I seriously don't want to go ranting about the issue of stealing because I might just do a one-sided debate on colonialists. Well two sided coz I'm probably going to defend them as well.

yeah in philippines you can buy pirated stuff. Even r4 and edge are available here in our local mall. I'm glad to have a flashcart coz i cant afford to buy those legit looking games here IMO they are not genuine DS games. Their box are so crappy and hella lot of expensive.
