People can already get games off other peoples sites if they know how to do it. This would just automate the procress, but most people who run a website are entirely capable to getting a game if they need it

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.

Are you saying that the pirate bay are responsible for people downloading illegal software as thats the type of comparison your coming to?
I wrote a script that allows people to download a game off a website. Im assuming that the games they are downloading will be copyright free and they have the site owners permission. I cannot be held responsible for how others misuse a script no more than the pirate bay can be held responsible for people downloading illegal files using their perfectly good and legal system of torrents.

Have you seen the script ? How would you know how its coded ?

Firstly , the word is 'their' and not 'there' and secondly they never said they will not let me release this script , they said it was being discussed. The script itself doesnt infringe on any copyrights and you are slandering my by saying this , which im sure is against most forum rules. The script is capable of being misused but then again so are zip files that contain games are are sold by people for a profit without any of the monies going to the game owners.

Your assuming missuse of the script , I have developed it to get games with no copyright and with the site owners permissions. If you are suggesting otherwise then its slanderous.

There is no stealing when the person has permissions - why do you keep assuming that the script was written to steal - the script was written to get legitimate games with the permissions of the owners of the site. Only a dark mind would think so negatively.

The way you are thinking here is that logging into another website to play a game is stealing , because your basically using someone elses site to play a game on it. Once you have the owners permission to play a game on a site , and by joining you do have , then its perfectly ok to play the game. If you have his permission to download the game then again its not stealing. If someone puts a game on their site that has a copyright issue then its up to the site owner to screen that game for copyright. The script i have lets you get a game , its doesnt install the game for you , the V3 installer does that , which i didnt write.
My script will allow a user to get a game , but it doesnt in any way install the game for you.

Its the same as someone getting a zip file of say 500 games off someone and installing them all on their site - is the person they bought the game off responsible for them installing the games on their site ?
