Why do we even still talk about how downloading ROMs is piracy? Anyone own a time machine to be able to go back and buy the games they want for full price, thus putting food on the table of the devs back in 19xx? No? Then there's no conversation to be had about it.

"Then there's no conversation to be had about it" this makes literally ZERO sense. It also clarifies that you flat out do not understand how "royalties" or family assets work. Your family estate is entitled to your royalties even after you pass for examplehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royalty_payment …

So you've never bought a game secondhand, then. Seriously can't tell if you're trolling.

Buying a game second hand, is NOT the same thing as downloading a ROM mate. Seriously can't tell if you are *acting* dumb, or actually are. When you buy a second hand game there is ALWAYS an initial purchase to tie back to & physical transfer. ROM dumps == 1 sale, infinite reuse.pic.twitter.com/jXKvEYyOgz

Well I definitely don't have to question whether you're dumb. Imagine thinking someone doesn't know that RoMs R iNfInItE uSe!!1 Buying a game secondhand is functionally (read: financially) IDENTICAL to downloading it, mayte

Imagine thinking this was a solid argument to lead in with before getting butt hurt. Oh wait you don't have to imagine, you lived it in real time.pic.twitter.com/YKH0LxKOgL

So lets get this straight you went into this KNOWING that "RoMs R iNfInItE uSe!!1" but chose to roll with "Then there's no conversation to be had about it" on your initial comment?

Hey Ben, I like you but the difference is legally defined in the First Sale doctrine, which specifically makes buying used a legal activity. Downloading ROM's is not. Unknown if downloading ROM's of content you own is, not sure if that's been litigated.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine …

Nintendo litigated this recently, and claimed that transferring ROMS across a network is not legal.

Has there been a resolution in this case? That is a pretty stringent interpretation if it holds up.
