ROM's are legal as well as long as you own the game in one form or another. |
Thats also not true...Downloading from the internet and playing a ROM is always illegal no matter the circumstances. Here is a short quote from Nintendo's legal page:
"The backup/archival copy exception is a very narrow limitation relating to a copy being made by the rightful owner of an authentic game to ensure he or she has one in the event of damage or destruction of the authentic. Therefore, whether you have an authentic game or not, or whether you have possession of a Nintendo ROM for a limited amount of time, i.e. 24 hours, it is illegal to download and play a Nintendo ROM from the Internet."
It basically says you can back up and archive your data but you cannot download and play ROMs from the internet
