They can purchase jiffydos, then it is not illegal. -Pasi -- "Elayne, it shames me to admit it, but I will take him any way I can get him. Not that either of us has much choice.

For the money you (we) payed for Jiffydos (in one time or another) you should have demanded from CMD customer service to do the keyboard hack for you. imho. Unless ofcourse you now own CMD shares. :-) >RR is a reverse engineered hardware clone which is perfectly legal. >Users have to flash the copyrighted AR firmware themselves. No argue here. But that's just because Datel doesn't care that AR or RR roms are publicly available for download. If Datel cared, and we apply same logic you described for legalizing s-jiffydos and piffydos, after buying RR I would have to buy AR 4, 5 and 6, Nordic, and few other Cartridges whos roms I used with RR, including the AR rom that was used as a core for a RR rom, and then, after reading the right cartridge ROM, i would have to patch it using publicly available patch to make RR ROM. :-) In this case I would not buy RR, because using it legaly would be too expensive, product would still remain in a legal gray zone, and it would be just way too much trouble for my taste. And that's exactly what buying new Jiffydos to make s-jiffydos is. Way too much trouble. |
