Wii Virtual Console Piracy

[SpoDaddy]

This doesn't make sense since iTunes AAC files have ridiculous DRM restrictions.

Please know what you're talking about before making retarded threads.

Hey troll, I was referring to the widespread availabilty of the music Apple sells, not their specific mp3 encoding. Douche.

You can put mp3's on your Ipod through Itunes that weren't bought or ripped on Itunes; is there protection against putting an illegal N64 rom on an SD card and playing it?

[Chux]

Probably. Just because it's a rom doesn't mean it will be playable by the VC, or even the same format.

[bbobb]

Yeah, Nintendo's obviously stupid and never thought of people putting roms on their SD card to play them.


...

[Daitokuji]

What ever it is some hacker will crack it and we'll play all the countless roms we already own

[Chux]

That's fine.

Sega never thought of people burning their games onto regular CD's and playing them apparently; once the system has a built-in system for receiving roms it's only a matter of time before someone cracks the boot protection.

And when was that? Sega CD? Cause that was before burned cd's were quite as big and common. Rom's have been around for a long time now, it's not like it's some new thing that they don't know about.

Actually I was referring to Dreamcast.

[kedawa]

the situation with the dreamcast isn't that simple.

Sega developed an almost unbreakable form of copy protection by using proprietary media, and then fucked themselves over by including support for a CD format that nobody could care less about, a format that required code to be executed from CD

Perhaps Nintendo is going to go the Apple route and sort of accept that piracy will happen, knowing that they'll still make tons of money selling VC games.

You'd like for that to happen, wouldn't you?

Filthy communist hippie.
