Compressing files

[Joe Forster/STA]

I rip my games, too. Install, backup main game files (EXE's and DLL's), apply latest official update, backup (new) main game files, apply crack, extract registry entries and RAR the whole thing with maximum compression. And keep applying official updates (and reRAR'ing stuff), as they are released. What's the problem with that?

Its ok if its for yourself.


But if hes asking how do others do it ala rips, which is a warez issue :P


Either way hes got a rip of something sometime from someone or somewhere and now wants to do the same.


As Grumpy said in another thread, tis a fine line.

Yes it is a fine line, but if people dont specifically say they 'downloaded' something then they are within the rules.
Technically he could have seen the files anyway, at a friends house, at school or work etc.
So until they are silly enough to dob themselves in we really have to give them them the benifit of doubt and take their questions as being legit, even if we feel they may have infact downloaded it.
