1. Bleem won the case cause its defense was based against people owning PS1 console hardware and its games
not people who just owned the game.go check what happened then come back.
2. the free emulation thing was based on the PSX emulator making profit on android market,it didn't have anything to do with the dolphin one.
3.the fact is that its not big enough,the day it gets being used in masses,it will be banned
4. that way you could say the current PS3 priacy thing wasn't illegal either as its defense was based on the following
4.5 u owned the game and PS3 and were then copying it to the HDD and playing it.that is fine,but that is not what happens.
5. if you still stand with your comment then u are as good as saying that piracy doesn't exist

1.I hate using Wikipedia but

wikipedia says:
[edit]
Two days after Bleem! started taking preorders for their emulator, Sony filed suit against them alleging that they were violating their rights and that providing access for PlayStation games to run on non-Sony hardware constituted unfair competition.
Ultimately Bleem! won in court and a protective order was issued to "protect David from Goliath".[1] Sony lost on all counts, including Bleem!'s use of screenshots of PlayStation games on its packaging. The court noted that Bleem!'s use of copyrighted screenshots was considered fair use and should be allowed to continue.

Sony sued them because they were selling emus... and Sony LOST
2. By law you can't sell open source software for a profit. That's basically the only rule to open source software. The emus that he was selling on the android marketplace were based on open source software. Therefor illegal. Note: illegal because he sold open source software, not because emus are illegal
3. No, just no.
4. Wah?
4.5. Illegal, you can't rip games. That constitutes breaking DRM, which is a violation of the DMCA
5. No, in fact I've said the opposite of this several times. Playing ROMs is ILLEGAL and is PIRACY!

yeah but how do you use an emulator,u can't use it without rom's or ripping games
and people make games based on console not where you could play it.that way everybody would start making pc games as everything could be emulated.
that way the the recent injunctions of PS3 jailbreak usb's shouldn't have stopped.they weren't even using open source but their own code to fool the PS3 of this
and get a better place than wiki to prove things.

I don't think that is true. For example, I could download a PSX emulator, such as epsxe, legally. I'm sure there is an option on epsxe to play PSX games via inserting the disc into the PC, which would be perfectly legal. I could play my copies of the likes of FFIX and Metal Gear Solid on my PC via an emulator perfectly legally.
