Let's have a look at the forum rules silasgcw. Linking to pirated material can and will get you banned.

It is not piracy it is not ilegal to own a backup of a original game so you should probaly get your facts right and it is upto the person purchasing the backups to ensure that they have the original let me know if I am wrong

yeah but after reading whats on that site....a big list of games, selling them copied. 3 pounds a game.... im pretty sure thats piracy, but silasgcw does have apoint i guess....but who would actually use that rule with a site liek that, the mods just wanna edit it out incase some little boy or girl has a hold of mommy or daddys credit card and feels like buying a cheap copied video game. hehe.

They're illegal copies no matter what you want to think dumbass.

Oh, and just so you have your facts straight, you're banned and I'll happily ban every nick you come back with.

Hmm, if i get this right;
Creating unauthorised copies of any material is illegal. (i'm sure)
Reproducing material for sales? - thats very illegal!
Creating a backup for personal useage only; dodgey area, i always thought you could, also depends in which country. (doesnt this contradict with the 1st one? - im sure there both true though).

You are not even allowed to give away a backup, thats still copyright infringement, and illegal. So selling them isnt doing anyone any favours.

The re-sale of material is also frowned upon.

Nice call on the banning, some people are in way over there heads.
