And yet again, its not illegal to supply/host tools to enable people/yourself to backup your games, their is no consistancy with these laws.

Therefore hosting/supply of "No-CD patches" (please read the defintion between a "fixed exe" and a no-cd patch in the previous posts) even if they are deemed illegal is not illegal to host them, because they constitute a method of backing up your games, therefore its only actually "illegal" if you are using them.

And the best thing about that is that there is nothing they can do about that law (as in change it, to become illegal to host these no-cd patches") The same goes for "hacking" (computer hackers) tools, its not illegal to supply tools, nor to supply informtation/articles about hacking.

So basically they could theoritically ban these "fixed exes" from being hosted, but not no-cd patches, as they dont contain any of the games code or coding.

Therefore I would not fear the no-cd patch side of things, but just maybe "fixed exe" files.

But I do see where you are coming from Tippex in a way.
