15 - Can I ask a question about a game I own and have an ROM for emulation on here?
Fair Use only applies if you legaly own the original and then ONLY if you make your OWN backup copy
Yesterday i went and got the new star wars game (yes i am a star wars fan)
first thing i did was dump the umd and then put it away on my shelf.
what i did is perfectly legal under the DMCA
Now as far as roms go, unless you have the original game cart. and the reader to pull the rom off it. any copies you have of that game are illigal and not protected under fair use.
also this applies to DVD's
but no matter how you back up the DVD it is technicly illegal since you must bypass the copy protection to do it
so no copies of a DVD/hd-dvd/blueray are legal
UMDs do not have any digital copy protection just a OFW check
so in the strictest sence of the DMCA making the backup is legal, playing it is not as you are then bypassing the protection placed on it
