1) Emulation isn't illegal. - Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony use emulation to achieve backwards compatibility with titles.

2) Emulation isn't illegal downloads. - You can use emulators to emulate your games library. I.E. PCSX2, drop your PS2 game into your PC's optical drive and fire up the emulator and play directly from disk.

You still need the physical copy though, so thats not the kind of emulation thats being discussed here.

That -is- emulation. The exact same emulation.

Emulation is a piece of software that emulates another hardware environment... That never changes regardless of the "media" being input into the emulator and is 100% legal.

And if we are speaking roms, not all roms are illegal either. - Homebrew roms where games are made from scratch in an emulator environment are 100% legal.

Making "backup" copies of your media is also legal in some jurisdictions, so is "format shifting" in other countries (I.E. Mine.)

Again, Emulators aren't illegal, never were, never will be... Which was the original claim.
