Question for everyone who says emulation = piracy... how exactly does one "pirate" software that has been out of print for decades and can only be obtained in physical form on the 2nd hand market via private sale or professional resellers looking to make a mint off the most popular and rare / obscure titles out there?

Emulation is not the same thing as downloading "ripped" or "cracked" copies of currently published titles off torrent sites on your PC, or modding your console to play burned discs of said copies. As long as the console & software are no longer being produced, and the emulation programs and ROM files aren't locked behind some sort of paywall, there is nothing wrong with emulation.
