Where did I get this information? 8 years as a moderator and admin in a Star Trek Community. And yes, Paramount are very hot on suing if they feel their copyright is infringed.

My question wasn't where you got the 5% value from (although it's interesting that you refer to yourself as the source of that number). My question was why you think that only 5% of the rom images are being used. What exactly are 5% of a rom image and how do you expect emulators to work with 95% missing? This really sounds like you just made this up which is a strange thing given the fact that you derive legeal advise from this.

Anyway: I'd suggest t.m.o to
- stop shouting at/banning people for asking for roms while maemo.org is actually distributing them
- you tag all related threads with "hipocrisis" so one can easily ignore these "what others do is wrong, what i do is necessary" threads
