Its never acceptable unless the IP holder says so. PC gamers done care though. MAME pushed on regardless.

Not true.

How is it not true?  Its available but it is still stealing.  Trademarks are protected under the government for a certain amount of time until it is reestablished. Unless its done outside of the US its an outlawed version of a game. An outlawed copy in otherwords.
