Downloading and Uploading Flash Games to Website?

    I am currently in the process of making a flash game and movie website and I was wondering if it is legal to download flash games and movies and upload them to my website.

    I see that websites like miniclip.com, gamesloth.com, addictinggames.com and many others all have the games uploaded on their websites, they aren't embedded from another website.

    Or do I have to get permission to upload them?

    Thanks in advance,
    Jordan.

    You will need permission more than likely.

    You need permission like edpatton said.. Ask the site admins first

    It's always good to ask for permission. There are some sites that distribute games that are free to place on your site without hassle (assuming that you don't modify them).

    Thanks for your answers. I have found some websites that allow you to download the flash swf file for your website for free and I will ask the owners of the games for permission. :)

    Depends on what country are you in. If you are in America, yes, you should ask for permission.
