I'm super late, but why would you ever sign your releases with an username that you actually use? Just use a different alias for your releases, bonus points if it's generic and edgy like "unforg1ven" or "BarTHolLomeW"
Who's stupid enough to release roms under their own username? Granted, I've been wanting to do that for a while, but all of my titles aren't that ridiculously rare either (big names - big titles are covered very well).
I have a collection of my cias on my computer, but they are just private dumps so I can play my own collection in peace.
There was a guy that try to rob a bank. Wrote on the back of his deposit slip(has his account number, name, address on it)
Put all the money in a bag i have a gun.
The bank teller did and the cops got meant him at his house

So it has come to my attention that members of this site are attaching their forum usernames and internet handles on ROM dumps. This is a practice that I find extremely worrisome and as an admin here I feel a certain responsibility to warn all of the members here that this practice is extremely dangerous.
By associating yourselves with this kind of piracy you make yourselves EXTREMELY vulnerable to legal action by the developers, publishers and IP owners of the materials you are releasing. Your attempts to get fifteen minutes of internet fame and kudos may very well lead to a lifetime of hardships for you and your family.
Make no mistake about it Nintendo and other entities ARE WATCHING and if they identify a target and have the identity of someone who is costing their business hundred of thousands of dollars they will retaliate against you and claim it back in court. In fact a member of this very site who dumped a game for bragging rights years ago was sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars and had his life derailed because of it.
This is not me scaremongering or me being anti-piracy, the risk is real, it has happened before and it is definitely not worth it!
Do not say that we didn't try to warn you if the worst happens.
Probably, but not reallyCouldn't that also bring trouble to this site too?
