snesorama..how is it legal?

Seriously. I go there a lot, but i'm just sorta blown away at what they have. I mean, how is this site not shut down?

I seriously don't have a clue how they still can keep that place running.
There was a similar forum with a "Trading Section" called extreme-games.us, but that got shut down not too long ago.

snesorama had rules set up to not upload games that aren't older than 4 years - wonder what happened to that rule...

Seems like they're kind of playing with fire.

It'd be a shame for it to go away though.

Well, as much as I appreciate a place on the net where such a large library of PSX & PS2 games is "digitally preserved", I'm a bit disgusted at the members there - I mean most of the time they don't even have clue on what they up&download there, just look at the comments. They're juggling those Isos left & right to just play the games once on an emulator and never touch them again.

Also, only the popular stuff gets mirrored once the filesharing service deletes the files - kinda defeats the purpose IMO.

The topic is very close to going against the forum rules, so I'll have to lock it to be on the safe side.
