Back in 2002, another person sold pirated copies of LucasArts games bundled with ScummVM on Usenet.īut a far more insidious misuse of ScummVM occurred in 2008, when three Nintendo Wii games were released featuring ScummVM used without permission or proper acknowledgement. After being threatened with legal action, the site owner mischievously redirected all visitors to the ScummVM website until his host shut him down. ScummVM's name and logo was used to give an appearance (albeit false) of legitimacy to a SCUMM games DVD sold by .uk. ScummVM has been distributed illegally many times over the years, but this is usually just a case of opportunistic individuals trying to make a quick buck from pirated material.
