Avoid promotion of piracy

[JayFoxRox]

The file that's currently at https://github.com/RetroReversing/retroReversing/blob/master/pages/xbox/OfficialXboxSDK.md is clearly promoting piracy.

What's the intention behind this, and wouldn't it put any other (possibly useful) infomation on this site in jeopardy?

If there's any other content which might be illegal, I'd strongly recommend to avoid it.
Such content will certainly lead to many other websites not using your content.
It prevents referring to you at all.

This is especially important for the emulation scene where preservation is at stake. So anything that could make the project attackable is usually avoided. If it refers to this website / project / ... it will certainly be a risk (that many won't be willing to take).

This is a great point that I need to carefully consider as I totally agree with what you say. There is just a part of me that finds the official SDKs fascinating and there is very little information about them on the web.

They are a huge part of the game development story, they help people understand what tools were used to create the games they loved. Not only that but they tend to be the parts that people forget about when preserving the history of video games.

I want to promote the preservation of this software without promoting piracy, but a choice will have to be made to see whats more important.

Needless to say out with development tools and game prototypes any form of piracy or taking away potential profit from developers is against the goal of this site. If anything I want to promote supporting developers right now, by buying game re-releases and new games in general.
