As the main #gigaleak thread is intended for discussion of the content of the leaks, and not any legal or ethical questions that may come about from the leak I thought it would help to post a thread where posters can discuss the legal and/or ethical questions that may come about.
Here's a thoughtful thread from aficionado of interesting headwear placed on former presidential candidates; Cheesemeister.
I would largely agree with the sentiments in that thread. For me it feels like an invasion of privacy, possibly even disrespectful towards those who have worked on these products and that it may lead to more stringent measures to prevent further leaks in the future.
Another perspective that has turned up in the main thread is from Dylan Cuthbert, who was lead developer on several Star Fox titles and has continued to work on a wide range of games for different platform holders. A single response from Dylan is linked below, but he's been pretty responsive over the past day or so on twitter so feel free to read what he has posted.
I can understand that for many this is an exciting, interesting time where they've been able to discover hitherto unseen or unknown versions and iterations of their favourite games. I haven't felt the same feeling. I'm really interested to know what you think though.
