Any good Games for rockbox
Skeith:
I thought you were allowed to use a rom if you actually own a copy of the game?
scorche:
The issue here is that you cannot access/share/do whatever else with the roms. Contrary to popular belief, it IS illegal to download the rom for a game that you already own...you must make it yourself.
Chronon:
Emulating any given piece of hardware is legal. And it's legal for you to extract a ROM (or make a copy of said ROM) for a game that you own. But I have not seen any decent justification that distributing copyrighted ROMs is legal.

That would be because there is none. If someone wants to pirate a whole ton of ROMs, we DON'T want to know about it, and we're NOT going along for the ride if they get busted for it.
Today's lesson: The life of a "warez d00dz" does not pay off.

I don't know, I've seen some pretty convincing legal information on romsites before. Stuff like:

Also, and additionally, You might take note of the fact that ifd you download this, it is LEGL to keep it up to and including for 24 (or 48 or 76) hours (depending on where you live in) for DEmonstrating PURPOSES ONLY!! After that, you nmust delete it off of from your computer before the FBI track your computer.
