No prominent lawyers have written papers on this.ħ) In related cases on format shifting which do not fall under the same section of the copyright act (MP3.com, Napster), the provision of products for fair use consumers has only been found illegal when the provider themselves have broken the law. No judges have ever even weighed in on this outside of court.
Given that there is no actual precedent, I went out of my way to stretch to any case that people could even twist into relevance.ġ) The law allows you to rip your own copy.Ģ) The law allows you to have someone else rip a backup copy for you.ģ) The law does not specify the contractual requirements for that third-party agent.Ĥ) Other contract laws recognize that contracts can exist simply by agreeing to an offer.ĥ) Whether or not the offerer (a ROM site) is breaking the law or not has no bearing on whether or not your downloading of the ROM breaks the law.Ħ) There is absolutely no precedent on this. The three posts contain an in-depth discussion of the exact relevant US statute to this issue as well as an overview of any even tangentially relevant court case. Why don't you read the three posts (actually, four, since I edited my post and included the link to the last time I replied to you) that I linked.
