I guess that even though VGC is against piracy in the rules, a person could say that they have the original SW on disc so they aren't pirating when emuling.

Yet I doubt anyone talking about "emulating" Uncharted 4 is going to run out and get the game. And since that came is exclusive to the console - the ps4 as well.

That is all kinds of piracy there. That people seem so proud of.

Legally, from what I know... emulating is piracy because it's reverse engineering the system to be duplicated and violating IP on the HW itself and them if you didn't buy the SW itself you are pirating again, but I may be wrong.

 

But I find funny when some guys expend 2000 USD or more on a rig and then pirate a game because they think it's too expensive (at least dirty cheap steam promotion isn't piracy, but I also find it an issue to only buy the games for peanuts and let the developers starve)
