On topic, emulation is not illegal. People will often use emulators to run physical game copies of old console games on PC's and other hardware, something that doesn't involve downloading ROM's. Even if it does involve downloading ROM's, there are ways of doing so that don't break the law, like Abandonware.com. Obviously, downloading, let's say, God of War for the PS4 onto your PC then using an emulator or some other method on your PC to crack it and make it run is clearly illegal and I don't think ignorance is an excuse. Anyone who does this, runs a website to host illegal ROM's and game copies or develops software to that facilitates this dose so that knowing what they're doing and knows it's against copyright law. It's actually a misconception from so many people who doesn't get exactly the legal grounds on which emulations is based which makes them think it's an illegal act. Just like you rightly put, they are just operating out of ignorance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
