but i wasnt posting it i wasnt posting my WAREZ i was just asking if there was an online patch/crack. ive seen many patches and cracks on MG i dont see why i would get reported for saying i need a patch. w/e its not illegal for me unless i make a profit off it actualy =p:dance:
Warez is illegal, and therefore, is not supported here at MGF :nono: End of story. Use of a no-cd fix is only legal if you own the original game disc.
emulators would emulators be considered WAREZ because they are pretty much free games posted by someone. but they have emulators on MG. if emulators are WAREZ does that make MG a bunch of hipocrits
Well mate, Lets just make it all pinky clear from the start: 1) If you don't like this forum or it's rules - feel free to leave - Nobody is forcing you to stay. 2) This forums has rules - all members should (and will) play by these rules. In fact, you even agreed to the said rules, when you regged ur account. 3) The members of staff are here to enforce these rules either by simply remarking (AKA soft tool) or by temp bans, bans, bad karma (Or in some cases simply by making me that person's"special friend"). 4) As for the topic of what are Warez & emulators and the difference between them: "Warez" refers primarily to virtual copyrighted material traded in violation of copyright law. The term generally refers to illegal releases by organized groups. It usually does not refer to commercial for-profit software counterfeiting. This term was initially coined by members of the various computer underground circles, but has since become commonplace among Internet users and the media". On the other hand an emu is usually: "A console emulator is a program that allows a computer or modern console (cross-console emulation) to emulate a video game console. Emulators are most often used to play older video games on personal computers and modern video game consoles, but they are also used to translate games into other languages, to modify existing games, and in the development process of homebrewed demos and new games for older systems". MG doesn't get in your pants with what you do at home, however, this forum does not support (and will not support) any way, shape or form warez or any illegal action(s). If a member of this community wants to use the information or help of others for anything illegal, we will not only remark, close and warn that user, we will also ban that person from any future use of this forum. That is rhe rule and anybody who wants to be part of this community will either obey or leave the community - Simple as that and not open for any debate. Having said all of that - I hope it's clear enough for everybody. I also think this short movie (It doesn't have any sheep in it, but it is pink, so it might help people understand) might give you more information on this topic:
:birthday: its an old tread but as it did not turn in to flaming i still respond (again) as i find it very interesting subject the thing is that warez unlike popular believes do not come from warez sites, the guys who try that will learn they lesson soon with viruses and Trojans : ) there are plenty of ways geting your warez "clean" (not meaning legal) and the thing about "hard work" is that the profit wont end up by the coders, not even in the department of where the guys work (i worked for activision) but it desapears in the corporate world... so dont feel sorry for the programmers, graphic artists, musicians, bands, artist, ... i say (from my own experience) pirate the data and if you like it send some cash to the people creating it DIRECTLY, it wont make it legal BUT it make it all RIGHT there are plenty of ways doing this from check/MO to paypal, or just ask the guys directly with an email ---------- i argue about this issue a lot, and it funny to see that the people who respond aggressively to pirating subject are most of the time involved with publishing/distribution or law enforcement NOT the actual artist/coders.. i think i dont have to color out WHY : ) as a programmer you do not have many choices how you can turn your talent in to cash .. after all the corps made sure that you cant market your own product and most coders/artist are broke and need fast cash anyhow .. they just get taken advantage of so support you product by paying your favorite artist/coders directly ! fock the system !
