        Maybe this has been covered before. Why can't someone post the
Daytona demo for N3? It's not like anyone is losing money. A demo is
FREE. Yes, if you were at Daytona, you had to pay $20, but that was for
the race program and lots of other goodies. People were downloading F-1
before it was in stores, and you have to pay for that. You can't pay for
Daytona since no one is selling it.

Well in theory you are correct.  BUT there was most likely a stipulation in the
Papy/ISC contract that forbade this.  Therefore its infringing on copyright
laws and is henceforth illegal.

Something be not charged for doesn't mean it's freely distrubutable.

Because everyone here is a hypocrite .

They jumped all over the few people who posted sites with Daytona and turned
them over to Papyrus...YET those same people have posted reviews of  warez
F12000.

So, I guess it is ok if its something the hypocrites WANT or DON'T HAVE, but
if they have it and you don't you will be chastised for even the thought.

I was going to ask about DL'ing the warez copy of Nascar 2k. Will this be
ok? Or because this is a "crap" game (well at least "more crap" than F1 2K)
Will this be very wrong to DL a Warez copy. I'm still surprised by the
reaction of this group to the warez posts about F12K. I guess desire for a
good game can change the rules for some people.
Just asking.

        It's okay. Someone sent me the address. WOW!!! It is Daytona. It's
not as wide and not as long.
