you do realize the legal emulation on things like XBox Live Arcade and Wii Virtual Console mess that argument up a ton, right?As I said, if there is no legitimate way to give the publishers money for their product (they do not get anything from used game sales), then it is not.Not everything is black and white, especially concerning digital property.You may not consider it, but guess what? It is.
Is looking at a picture of the Mona Lisa online or putting it up as your background on your PC considered stealing from Leonardo Da Vinci? (not a perfect example, but close enough for Gov't work).
(and I have probably 25 NES and 100 SNES games with emulators myself)
