Thats entirely possible , but it is a way for people to get games for FREE and not get charged like most of the other places that promise games and then try to charge, so it would only be polite to ask the owner before downloading.



1 person downloading a game is the same bandwidth as 1 person playing a game. If a site cant handle the bandwidth of a person playing a game , then the site shouldnt have an arcade on it.


I could write a section into the script that auto mails the owner of the site the games are being taken from to thank them for the game, but it wont make much difference in the end if people want to abuse it.

you like repeating yourself. By controlled i assume you mean charge people for it ?


I would feel that i have shared games that i didnt own in the first place and helped out others with no personal benifit to be gained from it. (also 30 games x 85 pages = 2550 games )


I dont see how this would be the best way ? That would limit the choice that people had in getting games and reduce the effectiveness of the script for people to get free games and never have to pay people offering 500 games at a cost.


If the site owner has permissions to use a game on a site then its usually a global permission to use that game on any site unless the owner of the site writes the games. If there is no permssions to use that game , then that site owner shouldnt have the game up in the first place , so where does the morality begin and end ?

The code is users and if anyone miss uses the script it is down to you as the owner of the script, as you will be letting people steam files from other sites.
Weather or not a game is on someones site with or without the game owners permission does not mean that you can steal the game from someone elses site without asking the site owner first.

With your script you are letting people do this and the person that is responcible is you as you are the owner of the script to let people do this.

It would not take alot to change your code to attack someones site and steal alot more than just swf files and image files.

vb.org will not let you use there site to release a script of this type as it is an infringement of alot of copyrights.

1st copyright is stealing games from someones site without asking.
2nd copyright is letting people take games that dont have permission or athorization to use the game weather that site has permission or not to use that game does not make it right to steal it.
3rd cross-site scripting to another site without owners knowing and some hosts will not like this as well.
