The 2009 reality is this: piracy is not stealing. All you legal defenders apply this to make it look dramatic, so many people instantly refuse piracy without even digging up what the RIAA or MPAA does, using illegal means to kill piracy. I suppose you don't know that yet.

I honestly don't understand what you are trying to say here. So you are saying DL is the same as purchasing, as if you "have" it that means you "own" it?
I think we established earlier that the ROMs are not legal.

I explained it quite well in the quote, I buy the game, I have the right to play the game. If it damages, I don't have to buy another game.

I am not telling people what to do and what not to do. The question came up "Are ROMs legal", and it didn't take long to realize they are not. You can try and justify it in your head, but don't pretend it isn't illegal.

I never said it's legal to use roms. But Nintendo, RIAA and MPAA copyright is BS.
