That's not totally right.. becourse you have to own the hardware to play it on also.. even if you not use that hardeware.. It's not legal to go to gamestop and buy a used copy (or new for that matter) of a ps1.. wii.. whatever console game.. and then go home and rip it.. and then play in an emulator.. if you only own a pc.. But if you have a old ps2.. and have a backup.. and your ps2 then dies.. its legal to play on other hardware.. becourse you have right to play that game.. but its not legal if you never have had the hardware that can play it.. |
Incorrect. This has already been tested in court with the Bleem! vs Sony case.
You do not need the original hardware to play these games.
And this is not "ripping" the game, that would actually constitute as piracy in the USA (But not in say... Australia where you can copy media you own.)
It is running the game directly from disk.
