| Aspect | Detail | |--------|--------| | | Redump does NOT host disc images. Only metadata and DAT files. | | User access | To obtain actual game discs, users must source their own retail copies or rely on third-party archival sites (e.g., Internet Archive) that may host Redump-verified sets. | | Copyright | Dumping a personal copy for preservation may be legal under some jurisdictions (US DMCA exemptions for abandoned software, EU private copying), but sharing remains copyright infringement. | | Project stance | Neutral: Redump provides verification tools and data, not piracy. |
