People who come up with this shit piss me off. If everybody did this there would not be any quality games.

Firstly, being able to rip, emulate and play ROMs is essential for the long-term preservation of games. 

I think FarleyMcFirefly is talking about piracy.  Especially when the games are just coming out.  If people could just get the games for free and do it easily, people wouldn't buy the games.  This would especially harm games that already don't sell too well, as even more people would pirate it.  People can argue that piracy means more exposure and that it actually helps but there really aren't any solid cases people can use to support that argument.
