Is it a violation of copywrite (USA) to copy newgrounds.com games and to host them on my website?
I live in the USA, and I started a website to play free flash games. I wanted to know if it is legal to copy games from the popular site www.newgrounds.com and to put them on my website. I would not be claiming authorship of the game, I would only host them. I want to run a legitimate and legal website, and I was not sure if this would be a violation of copywright laws. Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Yes it%26#039;s a violation of copyright.

    Copyright means just what it sounds like - the right to make copies.

    The site owns the copyright to the games. (Or pays the copyight owner a fee to host them) No-one else has the right to copy them without their permission.
