As an example I've paid for a copy of Breath of Fire 3, 3 times in my life, because the disc broke twice over the years. Now my ps1 & 2 are caput. I still own a copy of the disk. Would it be illegal to download an emulator (I've boughten 2 ps1 and 4 ps2 in my lifetime) and a rom of BoF3? Sony got their cut 9 times already.

If buying isnt owning then pirating isnt stealing in my humble opinion.

Some might argue you would need to copy the ROM from the disc you own instead of downloading it from the internet.

Luckily for the PS2 this is trivial for anyone with a PC and a disc drive.
