Fearing legal action, emulation hub EmuParadise is removing all of its ROMs

If anyone from EmuParadise reads this, I’m interested in facilitating an archive of ROMs to go into cold storage at the Internet Archive.

What's interesting is that generally nobody cared about these ROMs for a decade or two, and now that there has been a resurgence of retro gaming consoles and apps, suddenly the IP enforcers have started to arrive. I'd bet that many of these ROMs would have been completely lost if not for the emulation scene. I have no evidence for this, but I would make a conjecture that the copyright holders are probably using at least a few ROM dumps that they found online for their own "new" products...

Try Nintendo themselves on their own product.

The media-wizards, who are nothing if not postmodernists, have even begun to feed on the vitality of "Trash," like vultures regurgitating & reconsuming the same carrion, in an obscene ecstasy of self-referentiality. Which way to the Egress?
