Grooms, that is an interesting article but it doesn't mention nor make reference to Mr. Brown (suspect) using emulation programs. This man was convicted for selling and trading counterfeit software titles, not playing an emulator...lol

As far as I know, there is no law against using a program like an emulator to play a game so long as you own the game and have no intention of reproducing the title to make profit.

Does anyone else have any opinion or insight about this article?
