...just wondering whether anyone could tell me more about them, so if you dont mind could you answer the following questions for us :
1) How exactly do these people get the games if they haven't even been released in America?
2) Are they worth the money?
3) I bought a copied Mario 4 GBA SP game without knowing it was copied, will I get told off by the police or something?
4) Why does Ebay allow people to sell illega stuff?
5) How can I tell whether i'm buying a counterfeit game or not?
Cheers.

Suppose I should answer these for you Stridders.
1) They steal the source code. Some fat bloke from programming probably left the source on a bench somewhere while he went to get his daily fix of Tab cola.
2) No. They're cheap, nasty and the code is normally modified. Plus, they tend to lose saves if they're GBA games or muck your memory card up if they're GC.
3) Yeah, the police are gonna spank you hard Strid. They'll come and hunt you down. They have Anti-Pirate Electronic Sensors (Apes Strid, Apes) that'll sniff you out. Give them a banana or something.
4) Think how many auctions there are per day- it's nearly impossible to view them all. Plus, people can say games are official when they're not.
5) You can if it's a pirate copy if it's wearing a bandana and has a tendancy to say "Aaar, Jim-lad" alot.

I think it's more that the questions are so blindingly obvious/stupid. ;-)
Do you really think the police will be knocking down your door and beating you to the ground for unknowingly purchasing a copied game? Use your common sense, man!
