sure we've got an emulator. it works well. it's a cool toy. but the logical conclusion of emulators is no games. exactly the same as the logical conclusion of mp3 piracy is no music.
until we live in an energy free society, artists/programmers need (want) to be paid and if they don't get paid they have to work in mcdonalds etc.
hiding behind oh well coding emulators isn't illegal, using ROMS is, is just facile. its a bit like saying oh well building nuclear warheads isn't wrong, just using them is.
this is *not* an indirect attack on opensource software, it's a direct attack on people who rip other people off 'just because they can'.
will someone tell me exactly how artists benefit from having their music pirated via mp3? this seems to be the consensus at the moment and i'm wondering why.

yeah he's more than likely doing the film but in someways even better is it's likely that Aphex will do the soundtrack.
your society (sadly) glorifies the possession of firearms. people do not need guns to lead normal lives.
talk about blaming games or music is utterly bizarre in that context.
