> Fair point, but you still shouldnt buy ILLEGAL copies!
Same thing goes for you. If someone offered you a video of a great film they had watched and recorded off Sky box office, would you say no? Would you my @rse. If you're going to be so high and mighty with your morals, you should follow them in every aspect of life, not just the ones that suit you.
> You shouldnt buy copies of games unless you are keeping as a backup
> copy tona game you already own.
It's subjective. People like you will always say no, and others will always say yes. I'm not bothered whether a game is a copy or not, but some people find it harder to pay over-the-odds prices for games when exactly the same thing is available for a LOT less.
You can't really come on here and say whether people can or can't use copied games - it's up to the individual whether or not they want to take the risk, as of course it's illegal. I bet you record films/programmes off the TV or sky with your VCR don't you? That's the same thing - just as illegal, yet I don't see anyone here telling you you can't do it.
> I dont think you could buy copies over the net anyway!
> Shame on you. Thats why games are so damned expensive.
1) Jimpy, that is nonsense. I have written 2 GAD winning article on this in the past, and really can't be bothered to fish them out. If you ask though, I will.
2) It's ok to get copied games if the games aren't sold anymore. Will Sega lose any money from people copying DC games now? Of course not.
