An excellent point that also proves quite nicely that emulation and piracy aren't the same thing because otherwise all official backwards compatibility is piracy.

You see anyone bringing up piracy in Mini Nes or XB360 BC threads? VC threads? No.

If you look for a link to download Cemu however, you're bound to get it packaged with a cracked version of BotW. How is it not linked to piracy?

People have been pretty much saying that emulation is piracy. Backwards compatiblity is a simple proof it's not. Either it is piracy or it isn't. It can't depend on the context.

I did try looking for a download link now that you mentioned it. Didn't find BotW, but I did see Bayonetta 2 and Mario Kart 8 on the first page. Just looking for Cemu didn't yield anything shady though. Still, emulation itself is not piracy. Games are often obtained by pirating them and then emulated, but emulation itself is not related to piracy at all. Go on, try to define emulation and see if you can find anything related to piracy in the definition.
