Definition of software piracy:
My highlight.
Not saying it is necessarily the case here but there's a notable difference between freely sharing intellectual work/culture(pirating/deeply rooted in human nature) versus using that intellectual work/culture for your own (usually directly monetary)gains without paying dues to the original creators(piracy/bootlegging).

i hope there will be more cheating rather than durgs effect.The lack of language makes the game a bit boring.I like how you inciting Nanako and Mayoko in the first release.

I dont mind the Art from being other places and games as long as the story of engaging and interesting. In essence its not much different from HTML, RAGS or QSP games using real porn images.
keep up the storyline and try to just include art from a consistent group of artists so that everything feels in place, thats the only problem with using others art, in scenes where you cannot find art , you have to use some other art, breaking the flow of the game.
BTW can you tell where ypu are getting the art from, i want to play the originals as well.

Point is there is no real definition what piracy is so I dont see how these are for example less valid. As for legality of it all, that depends on where you live. Here where I live, I can legally download something and be OK, but if I upload something I am doing something against law, regardless if I am making money or not.
Wow ppl getting all mad about piracy on a piracy website, whee. Anyway I fully support pirate images if it reduces time spent on creating assets and makes the overall game development faster and the player experience better. I don't mind an evil protag, so this looks like it has great potential which I'm looking forward to playing when there is more content out.

is not the same copying the art style than just stealing art, what corrupt King is using is stolen art from other games, he is not copying / drawing it himself like a lot of slave makers games do, is very different.
I dont know if he will ever put a patreon earning money with stolen art , is illegal and they can sue him easily, if you draw it no matter how close to the original is you atleast have the right to sell it in a way (as fanbase).

Except no one said "copy art style" I said "Stolen artwork" Which I know for a fact that games like slave maker and brothel king (just to give an example off the top of my head) ALL HAVE LITERAL ARTWORK TAKEN FROM OTHER ARTIST in them as some of the art I could literally pinpoint where the art came from so no they don't. Hell, its not even slave maker games that do it either there were some rpg maker games and QSP games I played that also just took artwork.
Secondly, I am an artist and illustrator, I know first hand the difference between copying and stealing art work as I have had my artwork stolen so I know the difference and I don't know what slave maker games you played that copy and draw their own but the ones I have played not only didnt do their own artwork their user base themselves go out and add more girls to the game using random art done by various different people, in various different styles off the internet.
ok stolen artwork = i hacked your PC and took the original file. Coped artwork means i found your work elsewhere made a copy of it and used it. so no its not stolen if the maker of the game took it from something other then the original owners personal device, its coped. think of it in this logic "like a painting". to steal a pained artwork i actually have to steal the original artwork for that to be stealing it, now if i took a photo of the artwork and put that photo on a website is that stealing the painted artwork.
as far as copy right goes if he isn't using the image to portray a character identical to the one in the original game then it is a hard case to sell as infringement unless the artist has a likeness copyright on the character, like Disney has on Micky Mouse.

I see the "I am absolutely a lawyer" crowd has returned.
"No," and for a multitude of reasons.
Yes exactly, it's a copyright violation which is the exact same thing that does site does. But it does not impinge on my moral compass because his infringement does not reduce the sales of the original work. In fact it's far less of an infringement than this site because there's no doubt this site actually does deprive the original creator of some money while he doesn't.
