| 09:54:29 | <plshelp> | Could I get into legal trouble from posting PSP game ISOs to archive.org? I live in the US. |
| 09:55:08 | <plshelp> | I mean all the PSP games are already posted there, but in a not so searchable way. |
| 09:57:00 | <plshelp> | https://archive.org/details/PSP_US_Arquivista = all USA PlayStation Portable games |
| 09:57:30 | <plshelp> | https://archive.org/details/PSP_EU_Arquivista = all but about one EUR PlayStation Portable games |
| 09:57:56 | <plshelp> | https://archive.org/details/PSP_JP_Arquivista = all JPN PlayStation Portable games |
| 09:58:38 | <plshelp> | You can see that in none of those three links is there a list of the contents in the metadata/description. |
| 09:59:18 | <plshelp> | So what say that a user searched for 20 PSP games on archive.org via the title of those games |
| 09:59:48 | <plshelp> | Only maybe 3 searches would find an archive.org link with the ISO file of that game. |
| 10:00:16 | <plshelp> | However, probably 20/20 of those games can be found in the aforewritten links. |
| 10:01:08 | <plshelp> | So what is the harm in uploading redump ISOs of each game as a single item instead of having one item containing many games. |
| 10:01:56 | <plshelp> | It seems less potentially problematic to upload repacks of PSP ISO games as I think gamers don't really like repacks. |
| 10:02:46 | <plshelp> | Anyone here? I'm not asking for someone to be my lawyer, I just wonder if anyone knows about this stuff. |
| 10:03:33 | <plshelp> | Also these video games are I think all from the 2000s, so who cares? |
| 10:03:56 | <plshelp> | They are out of print so it is not like the publishers are losing money. |
| 10:04:59 | <plshelp> | *So say that a user searched for 20 PSP games on archive.org via the title of those games |
| 10:05:30 | <plshelp> | *many games? |
| 10:06:12 | <OrIdow6> | Whether you personally will "get into legal trouble", whether they will stay online, and whether it is morally wrong are separate questions |
| 10:06:49 | <plshelp> | I care more about the legality than the morality. |
| 10:07:01 | <OrIdow6> | You say you are "not asking for someone to be my lawyer", but it nonetheless seems like you are, and if you are worried you are going to be sued or whatever you shouldn't be asking in an IRC channel |
| 10:07:29 | <OrIdow6> | No one wants to touch it because of that framing |
| 10:07:52 | <plshelp> | Times like these that I wish I lived in Russia. |
| 10:08:35 | <plshelp> | I wonder if there are Russian versions of PSP games, I guess that falls under EUR releases. |
| 10:10:44 | <plshelp> | Maybe I should just go for it and hope that US copyright law are sane. |
| 10:10:55 | <plshelp> | *copyright laws |
| 10:11:17 | <plshelp> | Or just put it on the back burner and focus on other stuff for the time being. |
| 10:12:35 | <plshelp> | I wonder if someone other than me will upload each game individually (as an individual archive.org/* link) within the next 20 or so years. |
| 10:13:28 | <plshelp> | I think I thought of a solution, so I guess I don't need any feedback. |
| 10:13:49 | <plshelp> | No one gave me feedback :( |
| 10:14:02 | <plshelp> | jk, it is not really a problem. |
