"Legal" Question, on MP3 Distribution.

I wouldn't be surprised if the music could be ripped from the game disc somehow. GameCube discs are mini-DVDs, right?

Ripping methods exist for PS2 games. And of course there's always the ole rip via Line In method if you can't rip the music otherwise.

Well, regardless of whether it's illegal to have mp3s of music from a game you own, it's definitely illegal to distribute it since you're making it avalible to people who might not own the game. Not that I haven't downloaded VG mp3s myself.

No. This violates our copyrighted material policy.

Even if it were ok for everyone that owns Metroid Prime to download the music, how can you guarantee that ONLY those who own the game will download it? You can't. Once you link it, everyone's gonna go get it, whether they own it or not.

If you have such a link and you know some members will enjoy it, you can always private message those members. Also if you have any more questions, message a staff member.
