Just saw this add here at SimV:

link - haven't tried...

Is FSX free since these days? Can hardly imagine that...

FSX is most certainly not free. I've just had a look at the website and it looks terribly professional etc. However I'm deeply worried! I imagine this is some scam thing to put bots all over your system or some such.

That's why I didn't even follow the link... ;)

It says something...to the right of the download button...something about not hosting software or malware,......very hard to read but there is something in there...prolly their disclaimer so M$ doesn't eat them for a snack.

"MyGamesFile does not host, or link to illegal software"

Verbatim with a 22" lcd and eyes that are apparently getting worse and worse each day.... :'(

The site is not illegal because it is a file sharing site but if you host or download an illegal file, you are under a federal offense.

Now now. The site itself isn't illegal. Torrent sites in general aren't, and neither are torrent programs.

The content being hosted by the users of said sites, however, in most cases is illegally shared files.

If I was a writer or an artist and wanted to bulk-upload my own personal life's work to a site of that nature to be shared, by all means I'm allowed to do so. That's my choice.

Should the next person, however, decide they want to share their entire CD Collection from various artists, that IS illegal. This gentleman has no ownership other than his own copy of the disks and certainly wouldn't have the permission from the Label and/or Artist to share said works.

There's a big difference ;)
