My stance on this whole bootlegging others ip for profit is this. People from the community doing it openly would be a permanent stain on this forum. If you're going to do it, do it at cost, not profit, sell only to forum members, and keep it low key and on need to know. As far as I am concerned otherwise it is the IP holders job to protect their own IP. If they want to protect it, they need to be proactive about it.
Most don't try to unless profits are being made, and half these old companies don't even exist anymore due to mergers or closing shop and selling assets, so the IP ends up in the hands of companies that could care less for the stuff outside of squeezing some profits from the Nintendo Virtual console.....
Outside of all the other mess involved with this, the only thing that irks me in a major way is people are still buying shit from that lying scamming cunt stain Tobias/Fudoh, after his spending years lying about his source of the Sapphires being old stock from Japan, and insisting his Sapphires were probably legit because of some fake letter from Hudson he concocted and presented to the forum. He took advantage of people's trust, of this community giving him the benefit of doubt.
The guy doesn't deserve one f*cking penny from anyone, he makes hundred percent profit off of others hard work, but he does pretty bootleg boxsets and people toss hundreds his way like all is good. If you guys are going to do this kind of shit, at least keep it low priced and in the community and stop bastards like this from exploiting the Turbo scene even more then it already is.
