This is also the first time that European gamers can (legally) play Earthbound, so it's a pretty big deal in that regard.

Anyways, I'll give the game a download once it's available to see what all the fuss is about!

If it was never licensed, then how would it have been illegal to download the ROM previously?

Copyright (or the continental equivalent) allow the creator many rights - including not releasing it. That means, it is illegal to pirate that game, even if it is impossible to get legally. But, on the other hand, as no one is makling profit, probably nobody will sue you.

Well, they can't sue you for playing a ROM. I'd love to see a case where it happened though.
