Considering there's plenty of people selling bootleg dvd's, cd's and copies of games currently being sold, I doubt ebay is getting too fussed about someone selling a bootleg copy of Turrican or whatever.


Im somewhat amused.. some guy keeps offering up A1200's with compact flash hard drives and, according to the auctions, 1000's of games installed with whdload.

Somehow doubt he bought all of those..

Wrong is wrong is wrong.  It is immaterial whether the issue at hand is an illegitimate copy of "Portal" or "Turrican."



Probably not.  And it is just as much of an issue as a copy of "Portal" on a modded PS3.  Wrong is still wrong.

Thats not what I meant though. The odds of ebay really getting up in arms are pretty remote.

Heck, the odds of the actual rights holders if they still exist are probably remote. How many ROM sites are out there for old console games ?

Unless there's a big company breathing down their neck, like you see with youtube, nobody is going to bother.
