It doesn't take a rocket scientist to find that 0.1 percent of the code and figure out what is missing though. Textual scholars have been able to reconstruct entire ancient documents by comparing copies. I agree that digital preservation will eventually be needed. Eventually all discs will fail, whether it is 70 years from now or 100 years from now. Eventually those discs will need to be ripped and their code will need to be preserved. But are emulators absolutely nesseccary for that? No.

Why is emulation such a huge issue for you? The PS4 uses PS2 emulation, the Xbox One uses 360 emulation, the NES/SNES Classics use emulation.

Emulation of modern consoles by people that don't own the copyright is a huge deal to me. It enables theft, and like Azuren said, anybody that wants to pretend that is isn't being used for theft is full of shit. The majority of people that use unofficial emulators are theives. Piracy breeds DRM, and that spells the end of consumer rights.
