Copyrights exists even after the company is bankrupt and pretty much non-existent. The Copyright and Patent Act says so ^^ - as well as some other pretty useless stuff that the warez monkeys don't pay attention to...
As long as the company wishes to file a law suit against you they can. even the game is centuries old!
'Copying', 'Backing Up', etc are all words that mean the same thing (in this case). STEALING.
And that's what it is. Taking something without permission.

If you were a law abiding citizen, like i am, you wouldn't see me as being 'good' or a 'goodie two shoes' but rather 'normal' and 'law abiding', who doesn't steal from hard working games developers.
If it takes 'reachin'' to stop people from stealing things that don't belong to them... so be it.
Also if you feel that it's 'reachin'' then maybe you're just a corrupt individual who steals from your local shopping district and mugs elderly ladies?

'nuff of that... but i can make a valid point about it... any average joe can't 'copy', 'back up' etc a DS game very easily.

Good to be back ^^
i am a realist my friend, I realize that these games will live on through emulation. Emulation of old school titles, even some titles you wouldnt be able to find such as earth bound 0, are able to exist on the internet.
If the law told you to go down on another dude.. would you do it because the law says so? Please go ahead you law abiding citizen. Know that laws are merely rules set in place by old men playing the game of politics with each other.
You have to realize that there are some rediculous laws out there, some even created over a hundred years ago... should we follow them because they are there? Like some that state women have to dress a certain way, or that ferrets are not able to be domesticated and thus unable to be pets... so unlike you, as a "grown up" i understand the law and the situation much better.
The PSP is a mini super computer. It is no crime to make use of what it is capable of, such as reading ebooks, playing ALL games including nintendo ones, listening to music and watching family guy eps. The PSP is an amazing device, and fanboys cant seem to accept the facts.
