Old games & ROMs can only still be played and retrieved due to piracy. Otherwise most of these kind of games will no longer be here. And soon archive.org will kill themselves due to all the e-book and software drama.. And we end up with nothing, the future generation will no longer have access to all those files, games from the 80, 90, 00's etc.

I don't think piracy would end soon though , but it's more likely that it will be more active in countries that don't have hardened kind of copyright laws compared to the countries who have it
