Re: emulators

Hence my comment on misinterpreted vaporware and abandonware laws, which is that they're mythically said to contain clauses which allow folks to use emulators and roms for titles which are no longer available, which isn't the case.

It's not okay. However, I was only really speaking to the etiquette of the site, not my own particular ethical standpoint. I use roms as well, although I own 99% of the games I have roms for (which is another misconstrued illegality) and so that's how I (wrongly) justify it.
