No, the emulators are not responsible for the games spreading. I had some MAME games long before they were added to the emulator list. What makes me sick of IDSA is that they ruined sites like FUNET and Magyar C64HK, but pirate servers with TOSEC sets like PEmu stay online for years. There are too many places where you can find software (binary newsgroups, IRC, web, FTPs) and assuming that you are not a lamer, you can easily find and leech everything. But while this is bad for the software developers, it’s good for the CDRW and DVDRW producers ;) And this killed the swapping business and I am ex-swapper now.

;-D Dr.Hirudo you should’t take Groepaz too hard, I’m sure he had licked few stamps too in past. Don’t get too attached to your past.

Pardon me, but without people swapping, what good would the scene be? producing demos never to be spread? Cool idea...Machines to me is about the way of obtaining software to use, else its just another box in the collection. C64 was divine in this case...really...now kill me!

creamd: in theory yes, in practice... why lick stamps when you can draw them yourself? :o)

In the case of Funet, it is a state financed university network, so I understand why Marko decided to take offline (not remove) all titles which were not clear to be published. Anyone independent with the means to host a such FTP could take over, and there are some partitial mirrors. Of course it is easier to shoot at a sitting bird than one fleeing. Anyone with the nerves can take the titles offline, question the ESA letter (but probably never receive a response) and later put it back up again waiting for another threat.

Hmm.. regarding the Sid Wine 3 compo; maybe one should entitle his entry Viagra just to see how the related advertisments banner to the right of page reacts. From what I understand, it selects advertisments related to the page content (see for yourself :-).
