You guys complain that I am charging for access to my ftp site, but you say nothing of what is happening at http://www.v3arcadegames.com. they charge $20 for the first month and $10 for each addtional month for access to the games and that is their cheap membership. I di not think this is a matter of intelectual property as you say.

For me the $25 has already paid for itself. Even at a low CPM rate, the increased adviews has generated enough revenue to pay for the $25.

*lol*, I can't believe someone's set up a site for selling games that don't belong to them.

Lawsuit waiting to happen.

I hope they at least got the permission of those that did the converting.

:rolleyes:

No-one asked me for permission, so I doubt they ask the actual authors of the games.

While a lot of authors are happy for their games to be used free of charge, I doubt many of them will tolerate other people selling their titles.

This is no different than people selling themes and mods for the phpnuke site. They are not selling phpnuke itself so it is not an intellectual property issue.

If you want to talk intellectual property then talk about all the games that the hundreds of sites are running using the v3arcade addon. I am quite sure that nobody asked permission of the authors of the games to use them. Some of the games are used with permission but many are not. An example would be all the Yeti Sports games, the Sonic games, etc.

If you shutdown sites that provide the games, then you are shutting down the arcades that run them too.

Converting a game does not give you ownership of the game, it just makes you an accessory to stealing them (unless they happen to have gotten permission).

how can i do such a thing?

Enjoy it!

Yeah, storing all the games on your site then charging other webmasters to access them is pretty cheezy. Get a real job.

Thank you. Are you the one I give credit to for converting this?

Oh please. It is not as if I am the only place you can get these games. How many sites sell information and files they have spent their own time gathering. It is not different at all. Just because you are too cheap to pay does not make it cheasy. I will get a real job if you will get a real life!
