Re: MightyRom Website Down, Temp File Server

you guys amaze me about this controlling who downloads what from where, who are u guys? at&t? we all know im just trying to help people who may have gotten TP2 for christmas or new tp2 replacements somewhere to download the best rom on the planet, i take no part in claiming this as my own work, i have yet to recieve a msg from mighty, he knows nothing about me sharing it, or if he does he doesnt wanna comment IDK. if he is truely just wanting the totals of downloads and such www.adrive.com keeps the tally and i can relay it to him after his site is back up. personally, i think he is probably cool enough to understand his community coming together to keep his stuff circulating. bite me. im reposting links.

I call spam too. Did you see the email address at the bottom of the letter? Internet1@microsoft-antipiracy.com just looks fake to me. Seems like MS would have something a little more professional than "Internet1".

It looks like the domain is owned by MS, but the administrative contact is some outside firm, actually an ISP. It also is hosted in the UK with several other anti-piracy domains such as Adobe.

Re: MightyRom Website Down, Temp File Server

Wow. In all this arguing that has gone on about whether it can re-hosted without permission or not legally, has anyone ever though of what would happen if Mighty was pissed off about this? He might....stop distributing his ROM at all...since people won't follow his wishes.

As far as this thread is concerned, the official stance is

"Mighty has no official mirrors or such and doesn't know of the existence of any of them"

See yall later, PM me with any questions as I don't plan of checking this thread...

Re: MightyRom Website Down, Temp File Server

totally agree...i mentioned this in his thread several times.

How is it wrong to mirror someone's work? It's not like he's not claiming it's his own work

Going against someone's wishes doesn't make it wrong. No matter what you do, you're pretty much always going to be going against someone's wishes. I bet someone wishes somebody would upload a mirror right now, but everyone is going against that :D

Not speaking on official word or anything, but takedown notices unfortunately have to addressed in a "act now, ask questions later" fashion.

I personally believe its a fake, but you always have to take precautions when dealing with these matters. If its fake, the person can be sued for impersonation and other legal BS.

Re: MightyRom Website Down, Temp File Server

MightyMike has resolved the issues with hosting, and his site is back up and running. In lieu of these updates, I'll go ahead and close this one down. PM me if you feel this thread should be left open.
