what do u mean.. arent ROMS legal as long as u have the original CD or cartrige

 

[24-7GT.com]

Yea but how do u know that man? Lol

That i guess i would have to leave up to the people. thats why i asked on the forum to see if its okay for me to make a site like that.. hopefully i can get an answer from a higher authority!

The legality of ROMs is questionable at best. Even if ROMs are legal given you own the original, you (creator of said website) would never be able to prove that you knew your visitors owned copies of the games. Also, providing download access to ROMs, which are copyrighted material, is distributing.

All said and done, what you want to do, probably won't hold up to the TOS, and is a questionable practice at best.

How can i get an answer from the Admins.. cuz i need to know if i can start my site or i need to think of another idea.. cuz i wanna make a site with almost the same idea as pspiso.com

If it's copyrighted you can't distribute it, that's pretty much how it works.

I was going to suggest a disclaimer, that's how a lot of ROM sites don't get shut down.

Well, I think Corey gave the answer and he's the boss.
