Bravo, bravo!!
I do believe that even though the Saturn community is just as legally responsible as the "DC scene", (that is, from a totally legal standpoint, our piracy is the same as theirs...) the feel of it is markedly different. When I do download Saturn isos, I don't feel like "wow, cool, I'm getting something for free" like other forms of piracy. I guarantee you that this is a huge reason why most people pirate stuff, it makes the person feel like they are above the system. Still, it's not so with Saturn or SegaCD... do you all get what I mean? I can't really explain it.

I'm with you, bruvva, and I get what you mean about downloading saturn stuff. To me it never feels wrong, or like you say "wow, cool, I'm getting something for free" - it's more like a last resort, only if I can't get an original. I have 30+ original CD's and I'm always looking for more - a task getting harder, especially in my tiny isolated corner of the world. So when I find a site like this, I'm eternally greatful.
In my case, it's more like being given an opportunity to experience a game that I can never, ever, find as an original. It's never about "beating the system", or being above the law, or saying to friends "HA!, you're not cool until you've played Silvergun on the Saturn..etc", or being able to brag about the number of "classic" games you have VS the "lamers" who have only ever played "commercial crap" like Playstation or N64. It's all about being able to enjoy a great system, by a great company for as long as possible.
