Ignoring the fact that adding comments like that would be downright insane: it's not possible. Correct* disassemblies aren't generated--they require a great deal of human intervention.
That said, disassemblies aren't any more or less illegal than anything else we host, as stated in the thread. Albeit not a ROM, it's quite simple to assemble a correct* disassembly into a ROM (asar dis.log rom.smc). The copyrighted things that we host here are all derived from ROMs (ripped music, disassemblies, etc), which makes them illegal by proxy if they're not already illegal on their own (this isn't really how it works I don't think).

"Correct" refers to a disassembly that has data and code properly split up, as generated disassemblies treat the whole ROM as code. In the case of the SNES, it also means that the addressing is correct everywhere, i.e. not having a block of code in 8-bit mode when it executes in 16-bit mode.--------------------
