I think that the distribution of ROMs is MORE than this regarding copyright infringement. ROMs are legitimate games that you are supposed to pay for. ROM's are only legal when you make your own copy of a game that you own. ROM sites allow anyone to download games that they may or may not own.
No one with legitimate copies of these games needs a ROM site, so the people getting upset are most often people who don't own legitimate copies of the games. This isn't even getting into the discussion of many ROM sites utilizing payment systems and advertisements, therefore receiving monetary compensation off another's work without paying a portion of said compensation to the owner.
