Me, being smart, found a way around this. I have a little notepad that tells me exactly when I downloaded the game, and I set a timer to delete it in 23 hours.
see, they make you delete the rom, not the save file. I just keep the save file, delete the game, then redownload it and continue from where I left off :D

This will actually happen in the future as things get more totalitarian.

It's not just that the corporations don't want to compete with superior retro games, they want people to forget there ever was such a thing as good gameplay.

It's the same with old computers. Schools and businesses used to give away their outdated computers or auction them. Now they are forced by law or corporate policy to surrender them to "recycling programs". This has nothing to do with the environment. In fact what happens is all the computers are shipped to Africa where niggers smash them apart with rocks to get at the copper inside and then throw what remains into the river.
The true aim is to eradicate all older computers that lack integrated botnet features baked into their chips so that the public loses all access to computers that respect their freedom.

Jews have been using the media to condition the goyim to discard their PCs and transition to SMART devices (Surveilance Marketed As Revolutionary Technology).

Observe this video where a negro destroys what his kind could never create in a thousand years:

Better get started downloading ROMsets of all you favorite systems and back them up on 3 hard drives. DONT back up to the cloud or they will put you on a watchlist.
>>
>>3180427
Romsites used to always have a notice saying it was illegal to download a game if it wasn't for backup purposes or if you had it for more than 24 hours. Of course this was many years ago. I guess they realized no one actually did that shit.

I don't know about Europe, but in the US congress passed a law that made it so it's okay to own "obsolete" software like most ROMs. It's still iffy about distributing it though.
>>
>>3181365
IIRC you can not sell them or a physical storage device with them or otherwise make profits from them, storage for personal use and distribution through internet is fine. ROM sites do get profit in forms of AD revenue though so they are liable to get sued if anyone would actually bother.
>>
>>3181365
>>3181431

What about games that are sold through digital distribution?

I would think that the format is the key, since I can't necessarily put a DOSBox-using GoG download of a classic PC game on my actual DOS-running computer and expect it to run. But I dunno, maybe they say if it can be bought, then you have to deal with it.
>>
>>3181467
well those are sold by the license holders
>>
>>3180406
Is that the squad mechanic or do the police in Britain just use gaffa instead of guns?
>>
>>3181512
er sorry, I meant what about games that are still being sold? If a game is available on a new Nintendo console via download, then do they say that it's illegal to download a version for free that would play on your PC or on original hardware via flash cart?

Huh, never thought about it that way. Makes perfect sense. I guess it does make sense to be racist after all.

Yeah, except the 24 hour thing is and always was total bullshit. It's illegal in the places it's illegal as soon as you have it.

One guy said it on his ROM site from Tripod in 1997 and everyone else started parroting it probably.

Need some help?

That is not even the law stupid fuck lmao.

You're only allowed to have "roms" if you yourself have made a back-up copy of the original game. That is the only legal way to own a rom. If you own the game and use software to transfer it onto your computer as a back-up copy.

Downloading a rom from a website is illegal even if you own the original game.

Stupid? Yes, but that is the law.

Well I say, mister policeman!

They're not on my computer at all!

As a matter of fact, they are in my wife's son Everdrive cart!

And as for me and my wife, we only use certified Repro carts on our Retron V.

See? No problems at all!

Don't do that.

It's because it's not worth going after, really. It's the bullshit thing about trademarks and IPs. You can ignore piracy all you want but you have to crack down on derivatives.

rom sites used to get shut down a lot. also i agree that theyll crack down on this once the normies have been fed the narrative that 40 year old nintendo games fund __________

I wonder where it came from, it sure as hell isn't legally binding.

>>3181518
In the UK, they honest to god are so scared of guns that only special Armed Response Units have them, so when a chav high from solvent abuse knocks over a convenience store with a kitchen knife, any patrolling police would be absolutely useless, as they have nothing to actually meet force with.
