Best websites for PSP games for the PPSSPP emulator

Unfortunately, no matter what it says on Wii websites and whatnot, gaming companies don't write laws. When you go and buy a game, you don't just buy the disk or cartridge it comes on, you buy your rights to the piece of software contained on it.

"Since really no one is going to police it, and if you own the game, theres really no way to prove you didnt rip it yourself, and just say you downloaded it to compare it to yours, or maybe just say someone else maybe used your internet and downloaded it, idk. But there really is no way they can prove you didnt dump it yourself, so they wont go after it really."

True, nobody "polices" it, but media companies do monitor these things. You don't get arrested, you get sued. Even if someone supposedly "downloaded it on your wifi" you're still held legally responsible.

Even with all of this, it's not the downloads you get in trouble for, it's the uploads. That's what media companies track. Many people download through the use of torrents, but what they don't realize is that the torrent simultaneously uploads whatever file they are downloading via their IP address. This is why torrents are so slow, and why they show download speed and upload speed on your screen. So media companies check which IP's are uploading, look them up, contact the internet provider to get an address, and go sue-happy for all the money you have potentially cost them by uploading their file.

They don't give a damn about downloads because:

a) there's the chance the down-loader has rights to the software file via purchase and

b) They can only sue for as much as the individual file as worth. When they sue for uploading, they can show an estimated figure and run you for billions.

Anyways, I've rambled. My only real point was that it's not illegal as long as you own rights to the file in question, regardless of what Nintendo says.

Side-note: MP3's are a little more serious, as record labels are tantamount to the devil. For instance, most "rich" singers and whatnot, are actually millions in debt to their own record label. There's even some law they tried to have passed that says if you're going to play music out of a speaker at a public place, (for a party or something) you have to pay the record label and acquire their permission. As that music could reach the ears of listeners who have not paid for it.
