Boy, some resseruction that was. Backup devices haven't been outlawed to my knowledge yet, but since there's a precident against Bung, and an ongoing case against Lik-Sang, this will soon be the case it seems, but the rest of it I do agree with.
Well, as long as the emulators are still legal (which they are, in 95% of the cases) I sure as hell don't care if I have ROMs that I didn't rip personally. Actually most of my ROMs are from discontinued systems, so I couldn't care less what they say :P
