From what I know, gaming companies are quite aware that EoFF (and other such sites) exist and offer ROMS etc. If EoFF had a FfXi WaReZ CrAcKz section I might see there being an issue here, but as it stands now, I don't really. If Sean decided to spam the MB up with porn tomorrow, he could do it. If anyone else does it, they're banned. That's how it works.
Oh, Shlup. You're always cranky.
When Square tells me to take it down, I will. In the meantime, it pays for all your poor saps to sit here and waste your days on this message board.
I've been kind of between jobs... for the past eighteen years. :cry:
I love you too, Cid. :weep:Quote:

EU Directives are not directly applicable into a nation's law (But the effect of them is), although a citizen can rely on an unimplemented directive against an arm of the state (Which EoFF is not) using the Francovich principle and seeing as neither Square nor Eyes on FF is European this post was entirely pointless.Quote:

Wait till Sony Music Japan or whatever label they put their soundtracks on find out. :eek:
Funny thing: from what I understand, their label went out of business or something.Quote:

That said, it doesn't mean it's in the public domain, someone (the composer for example) still owns the rights. Even when DigiCube was alive, they were tolerant of sites putting the music for download, as long as you didn't do it commercially.
Technically it is illegal, but many record labels would probably not even bother trying to shut down sites because it likely involves a losing battle. And as a result, people dislike the record label even more.
Actually, no, it's very easy for the records company (in the USA) to make you remove offending content. Cease & Desist leters usually do the trick, because if you ignore them when you're really offering copyrighted stuff that the company owns, you're gonna be smacked (especially with the DMCA now).
I did not say it would be hard to do. I've seen it happen to a number of sites and projects. When I said "losing battle" I was refering the overall issue of sharing copywritten material. It remains next to impossible for such labels to stop all illegal file sharing. (i.e. the overall process is a losing battle) If you don't believe that, take a look at past issues.Quote:
