I mean those are just rules that some asshole made up. Make up your own.
Nothing is illegal in any way that actually matters except harming another person. All other laws are just words. It’s just a question of whether someone is willing to hold you at gunpoint to make you stop what you’re doing or not.
Which, for downloading pirated copies of old games, is almost certainly a “no”. Especially if you use the most basic opsec but even that probably isn’t necessary. (Don’t use Torrent without a VPN though, ISPs really look out for that, especially shit-ass Spectrum.)
🤔 is it considered piracy if you’re downloading a copy of something you already own?
In the US it is. 🙃
Yes. Companies in the US get to sell the cake and keep it too.
