Forum:Emulators, ROMs, illegal
It has come to my attention that ROMs are ILLEGAL! This could do damage to the wiki because we all use our emulators to take photos, videos, etc. The actual emulator is not, no copyright has been broken on them. But the ROMs are just like burnt games or CDs. BUUUT, under certain cercumstances it is legal. If you have your own hard copy of the ROMs you have, it apparently is legal because you have payed for it and everything. Even though the FBI probably won't be coming around and knocking on your door for something like this (especially since I live in Australia), try not to break the law and download/have ROMs you don't legally own. I own a copy of all my Banjo-Kazooie games so I am doing no law-breaking (Although I did have one illegal game but thats gone now :P ). So yeah :). Cheers,
