With most of the old lengendary consoles getting rare to find in stores such as SNES, Mega Drive, ect, the only way to play the games for them is to get the ROM. The regulations of using ROMS is that you must delete the file after 24 hours if you do not own the origanal game, but whats the point? Nobody's going to arrest you or even find out, so why is it still a crime?? Lets here your views...

I think they should do some kind of agreement, that something like, 10 years after the console was released it becomes legal to use Emu's and Roms freely.

Seriously?
Now that should be illegal. It's piracy except no-one makes a profit.

Does anybody know someone who has actually got arrested and fined?
It's illeagal but it's not wrong.
Can you buy these games in shops?
No? Then what's wrong with downloading them?
I don't think that they can be bothered to persecute downloaders, but they punish people who distribute them accross the internet.
But even then, the worst that can happen is that your website gets shut down. I guess you'd then have to go to all the trouble of loading up onto a different web address...
Sure, you MIGHT be able to buy them second hand, but I don't think the games industry likes that any better either.
I heard a few years back that they were going to try and make the sale of second hand games illeagal...
