Congratulations, you broke the law!

Anyone here who has a PC version of RPG Maker (95, 2000, 2003 or XP) that isn't Japanese (or downloaded for $60 in English if it's RMXP) has an illegal copy of the game. Don Miguel, the guy who translates the games and releases them as freeware, never had permission from the makers of the games to translate & distribute the games. He was sued by them, but won because of a legal loophole, probably having to do with the fact he lives in Russia or something like that. So pretty much everyone here with one of the games got it from a place that's distributing it as freeware that was translated by Don Miguel and is breaking the law. RPG Maker communities frown upon pirated copies of the game.

Wow, I never knew that, thanks for the info. Now I can sue my friend.

Wha...doesn't EVERYONE know this?

BTW, IIRC, Don Miguel only translated RPG2000.

Who Really cares were breaking the law for using pokemon graphics

Allstories: Well, somebody illegaly translated the others.

Webmaster Tyler: Did you even read my post?

Well, you are technically spamming. Unless you have a story and screens for a game called "Congradulations (sp?), you broke the law" this is spam.

The person who agrees with you doesn't pay attention to what people are talking about.

You didn't read my first post, or are an idiot. This topic is about how using the freeware versions is illegal, not using the Pokemon graphics.
