That's a fair point da-anda.

But on the other hand, for Kodi (well, Internet archive rom launcher) to give users access to a specific section of a site which has a one and only purpose of accessing copyright roms.. then that's a different ball game. You are exploiting the system to give millions of users free access to games which should be paid for.

This is all quite similar to the new law which has come into play in the EU. "Kodi boxes" or streaming devices which have been specifically set up to stream free movies etc, is against the law. Internet archive rom launcher is specifically set up to give users access to copyright video games for free.

Youtube and twitch are not set up for the sole purpose of accessing pirate material.

Let's put it this way, streaming copyright video games which you do not own is the same as streaming copyright movies which you do not own, both are theft. it's as simple as that.

Take note:
