Hi,I'd like to know if downloading games from a site that might be illegal will put you in trouble. Also, is it illegal to download official freeware/ officially free games from torrent sites like isohunt and the pirate bay? Is it also ok to download officially free games from sites besides what the company approved of?
Thank you.
No downloading from an illegal site is comletely legal. Obviously.
why download torrents? you take big chances when there are some really good places to get games like clubgmg.com or teamwolf ect ect
No, freeware has no copyright restrictions on besides you can't sell it.
You can redistribute, download it, upload it, how ever you wish in most cases. As there is no copyright on the software.
download freeware gamesDownloading retail games is illegal. But the only cases that have happened is people who upload the games. Currently the video game industry has made no real effect to stop p2p sharing and some developers have opening said it doesn't bother them.
I don't think most of the other answerers read you question carefully. If the game is officially freeware (as in the person or company that made it gave permission to redistribute it) then it's fine, it doesn't matter who you got it from. But sometimes a company will give away a game free but NOT give permission to redistribute, in that case it would technically still be copyright infringement if you get it somewhere else.
I can't say for sure so don't take this as your primary surefire answer, but I believe that as long as the content is ldownload freeware gamesegally free then the source probably doesn't matter. Still, torrenting is an easy way to become a malware haven, so if it's already free then I would suggest just getting it from the official source. This may not be true if the company has some specific statement about where the content comes from, though.
it is illegal to download if the song is not free or game is not free, most torrent sites are illegal but you can go to download.com and get some stuff that is legit and free, but check out this site below
If the games truly are freeware, it's legal to obtain it in any way, however to be safe you should download it from the official source (prevents viruses).
Yes, it is ILLEGAL to download games from an ILLEGAL website.
