How can emulation, or using an emulator be illegal, even if you don't own the game?
From what I know about copyright laws and such, there is nothing illegal about playing an emulated game, even if you don't own it, simply because:
1 it is currently not being produced (so that is not affecting the creator to lose money)
2 you are not selling it
3 you are not putting it online
4 you are not claiming it as yours.
As long as you follow these guidelines, aren't emulated games and emulators legal?
Also, even if it is entirely illegal, how can they blame the minor problem (people using it), compared to the root of it? (people who put it online), especially since people (like me) are under informed about copyright laws to begin with!
Thank you for reading all of this, I hope someone can give a strait answer, and not just quote pages of a law book.
