This is in response to your Announcement regarding 'illegal' copies of Afterworld hack. GoodNES / allgoodthings site should be the least of your concerns, its everyone else that hosts roms that you should be contacting.
I'd like to clarify again with you exactly what goodNES is and isn't : Its NOT a 'set of roms'. Its NOT a set of IPS patches. Its NOT a program used to find or download roms or ips patches. Its NOT a website that has roms. Its NOT a program that has self contained roms.
It IS a program used to 'identify' what roms you have. Think of it as a dictionary that provides information ONLY about roms that are on your computer.
I'll use an example - say someone downloads the "legal" Afterworld 8 patch from your own site here at InsectDuel's Domain and applies it to their Super Mario Bros rom. If they used GoodNES and scanned the directory that Afterworld was in, they'd get a message back giving them detailed information about the rom, its 'proper name' as defined by the program, would rename the rom file if necessary in event it was named something like "mario hack 12135" to "Afterworld 8" etc. It would also generate a text file that would state 'You have 1 rom of 16000".
The problem is not AllGoodThings / GoodNES, but rather people/sites (such as Rombay) who have the roms. They try to collect all the roms GoodNES is capable of identifying, and then once they find them all, host them as 'full sets' available for download.
I hope that clarifies things further for you. You need to ask all the romsites to remove it off their site. Good luck.
