Ok since I made the post that got deleted, I may aswell chuck in my 2 {bleep}ing cents. The guy had the original games so I posted a site I came across which had the adfs that he needed(never read the whole site to know if he had permission to redistribute these files or not some of us have other things in life to do!) So since he had bought the orignals there was'nt any harm in him downloading the backups from the site I posted. The way I see if is if you bought the proper software does it really matter where you download a backup copy from, like the other member pointed out. I wouldnt say it was pirate software if he only downloaded the games he bought but would consider it pirate software if he download games he did'nt buy (thats a no no for sure, he wouldnt be doing anything wrong the only person/s what are doing wrong here is the site admin for not getting in contact with the authors to get permission to redistribute these files, But this is only my view on this subject and i'm not saying i'm right or wrong but its my view and you may not like it but hey you can tell people what to do.
