Oh so your a copyright attorney? You need to quit while your ahead dude your just making yourself look stupid.
It's called research. Something you obviously you don't do.
Your "research" was citing an irrelevant lawsuit from 1992 and posting a dictionary definition. If you were writing an 8th grade Social Studies paper, you would fail.
Even though many articles are made about it and the game genie is a popular NES accessory.
I'm not even going to get into this, as i have absolutely no desire to "argue" with a child-troll, except to say that you are 100% wrong. And that case had nothing to do with roms, it was based on copying operating system code in order to program an emulator.
Feel free to remain ignorant and idiotic, and post whatever you like; i have long since given up trying to logically explain the realities of law on this site, since everyone seems to think they know what they are talking about even when they are so far off the mark that it is laughable.
You are wrong, but you are free to continue to delude yourself.

It still proves emulators are legal under fair use.
The ruling of Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. v. Connectix Corp says otherwise.
You should really attempt to read and understand these lawsuits and rulings before you name-drop them. This case also had nothing to do with piracy or unlicensed distribution of copyrighted materials.

No it doesn't. It doesn't "prove" anything. That's not how lawsuits work. It ruled that in a specific case, a specific company was found not to be in violation of copyright.
The word you want is precedent, and precedent is not universally applicable.

Because it's illegal and legal. Emualators aren't illegal but they are used for illegal things. It doesn't matter if the game is rare or over priced it still illegal in every way, shape, and form. Their could be only one copy of a game that exist and owning a rom of it would be illegal. Lock this thread pls.

@ignrulezover9000 If you actually had a point, some court in this universe would've most likely come to such a conclusion, but evidently, there never was anything like that. Your argument fails because you argue for unrealistic intentions (copying ROM's from your self-bought games to play on an emulator), while ignoring how emulators are actually being used (pirating games without even owning the respective consoles).
No matter how you put it, no court would ever agree with you, and that is what matters in case of what is and isn't illegal. As such, playing downloaded ROM's on emulators is and will always be illegal, and nobody, except for those who upload such ROM's to various sites from their copies, plays ROM's from their own games on emulators.
There's no real reason to do it, really. The topic is allowed, it has stayed on-rails and the OP has been relatively cordial, even if very repetitive.
Why don't we just... Leave it?
I was wondering. They basically ask you mods (and admins) to prevent them from replying to something they don't want to reply to, instead of simply staying away (kinda ironic coming from me, I'm aware).
The PSP attach rate was actually the same as the 3DSs. Even if it wasn't, there's no way you can establish causation there. It could be that people just weren't going to buy many PSP games anyway. I know I didn't. They mostly sucked.
