Re: A89: Me distributing roms.
To get practical about my case,
Disclamers are bullshit, at least in sweden. And that is where I am. Besides
from that, my "isp" (thats my university) has any right to throw me off the net
anytime they want really, so there is no point in fooling around.
But, if TI doesn't care, I don't think the guys at "abuse" will care either. I
talked with one of them on the phone, and he seemed quite ok to me.
That with "Delete all downloads from this site within 24 hours....", what kind
of crap is that? I didn't know you where allowed to steal other peoples property
if you just "gave it back" within 24h.
I don't know US laws very well either, but I do know you have some laws even
more fucked up then swedish ones, so it isn't all impossible ;)
Anyway, if it is a crime or not, depends very much on wich country the server is
in too.
