:I doubt taking of pictures from ROMs could hurt the wiki as there is no difference between getting it off a legitimate cartridge or a ROM, it's just that linking to or advocating ROMs that could possibly get the wiki in trouble (based on the amount of ROM sites with 1000s of ROMs I doubt any company or agency would bother target the wiki but wikia may disapprove). I also come from Australia so I also don't worry about the FBI but I do own legitimate BK and BT cartridges so whether or not I have a ROM of them is unimportant.

::Yep. I think the wiki will be fine. What's going to happen? Just Wikia doesn't like us doing things wrong and if they think we're using things illegally to get legal photos they might disapprove. Anyway, just wanted to let people know. {{User:Chicken7/sig}} 13:19, 7 August 2008 (UTC) | |||
:::Either way, no matter how you take the images, they will always be used here under [[wikipedia:fair use|fair use]]. I think Emulators and ROMs are only illegal in the US and some other countries. Not too sure about that though.--[[User:Richard1990|Richard]] 19:55, 7 August 2008 (UTC) | |||
Don't push it out into the open and you likely won't be bothered. Not that I think Wikia is going to threaten to shut us down for taking some snapshots from games most of us own anyway, but creating this thread probably doesn't help. {{User:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | |||
:Yep. I guess we should just leave the issue now. Nothing serious (or even minor) is going to happen. Just thought I'd let people know. {{User:Chicken7/sig}} 07:47, 8 August 2008 (UTC) | |||
