That's the general ROM agreement, you can download, but must delete within 24 hours if you do not own the ROM.

Yes but when people download roms they don't delete them even though they don't own the original. The companies aren't so ingenuous so as to ignore this, so they crack on roms download pages because 99 per cent of what's going on there is illegal. If such a site would be associated to Abandonia or owned by Kosta, not only could it become prosecuted --this is not the main problem since most such pages are in practice left alone with their illegal activity--, also Abandonia should be forgetting about keeping friendly relations with companies especially through ESA.

And then, as Troop said, there are plenty of roms sites out there, and I guess that some reviews as well. Creating another one wouldn't be much of a contribution --except for the reviews maybe. True that Abandonia is the coolest brand, but it would be ruined by this enterprise.

Then again, if the site could exist without infuriating companies, perhaps by means limiting itself to some dead systems like Amiga, Commodore, etc., it would be cool and something to seirously consider.

EDIT: The first sentence may be read: "Yes but when *I* download roms *I* don't delete them..." I don't want to sound like a hypocrite. :P

Maybe we should dump the idea of emulation site and make a console-game site!

I'm fine for that too, just something to do with the old consoles too.

So... so you could download consoles and the cartrages? I'm being sarcastic here, as usual, but unless I missunderstand this is a pretty dumb idea.
