It was pointed out in another thread on this topic that, though there are wrinkles in the top left corner, the Hudson Bee came out just fine.

I get it.  There are strong opinions here about what is acceptable to pirate and what is not.  It's all still piracy whether or not the company or person's intellectual property cares or knows you are selling it.  But I don't really care if people want to pirate things.

I don't care that Tobias wants to make money pirating old games.  I only care that he stole recent work from active community members and in the past lied about Sapphire reproductions.  It's not the mere fact that he was pirating and profiteering, it's how he went about it that gets my ire up.

Yeah, I think my view of things is at least a bit hypocritical; (if you're willing to steal from Hudson/etc then what's different about stealing from Nightwolve, Bonknuts, or Tru?  However, I can see a clear line where on one side you're either profiting on people's work who are still invested (or perhaps even making an accessory to piracy/etc without their consent) and on the other you have people who Aren't doing that.

If a bootlegger showed up out of nowhere and first asked permission from active community members before publishing his wares, offered up a reasonable percentage of profits, and finally was willing to Not sell the games if the guy didn't want them sold then I think he would probably be lauded as doing a great service.  The difference between him and Tobias is the history that Tobias has of being an utter scumbag in the PC Engine community.
Did he really "steal" it? If you make a translation for the love of it, and release it to the community; isn't it community property to do what you want with it?

Question: Tobias?

Answer: all you pussyfags should just register at DoxPhile already.

This is the new fighting street.
Nully, you should take all the awesome magazine scans you have and release bootleg gaming mags.

I bet DoxPhile membership would skyrocket. Then again, you would be beseiged by folks saying... No fair, I gave you those scans.

People release their fan works with their moral terms-of-use like free for non-profit usage, and you can respect them or flip them the bird. They're typically NOT released under terms agreeing to let you slap them on newly pressed CD-ROMs for commercialization to profit with via your eBay storefront/business... Why would they be ? They didn't get into the work to make people like Tobias wealthy.

But once again, you can flip them the bird, do whatever you want, feel that since it was uploaded on the Internet, "too bad sucka!!" Now you can rationalize it however you want. But there's always a better way than sneaking around and using the product of a fan team's work without permission/inclusion when you attempt commercialization because you wanna pocket 100% of the net earnings assuming you have a fan team that would wanna cooperate with you.

Time to release a new batch of $5 repros on PCEFX.com, looks like the previous one is fading from collective conciousness :P

People are dumb for paying that much on a repro, period. There's nothing you can say to convince me that something that costs $10 per unit at the VERY WORST CASE is worth $60+

Just to counter this absurdity...

Since I'm studying for finals right now here's a little physics problem.  First person to solve it correctly who also has at least 30 posts here and isn't a known douchebag gets a free disc only toby repro of Rondo of Blood English translation.  I'll even mail it for free to anywhere, even worldwide.

Oh and if you're really fancy, write out your calculation, take a picture and post it here.

And when you read the problem be sure to read it in my professor's Russian accent for maximum effect.

f*ck, flexing that fan muscle a little too conspicuously?

Now I wish I had some of those just for the economic hand grenade effect. I do have a couple of Ginga Fukei left though so I'll be able to do it again someday.

Appologies for derailing the thread.  It appears to be back on track now.

Answer seems to be .09nm, or E.  Had to break out the old college physics book to find the equation to solve.

That's the thing.  I already have one and it works fine so by sending you my address I feel as though I'd be breaking the douchebag clause.  It seems we're at an impasse.

I was going to guess 42, does that count for anything?

I made the mistake of minoring in Physics when all I wanted to study was Computer Science, yep, those were some fun times. :)
