is using a ROM or ISO considered "pirating"?

im not going to tell you why I asked this,as for that's a personal matter. but is using ROM's considered illegal?

If you do not own them yes.

some are abandonware though so they are free game.

Yes you're a filthy pirate.

Not as bad as pirates of old that didn't wash for months or even more than a year, and sometimes resorted to anal sex with their mates because having a woman on your ship was considered bad luck.

Spoiler warning:

Arrrse me mateys :pirate:

ARRRRRR. If you download a couple roms you are basically Black Beard. I've heard there is legislation in the works to bring back hanging as a punishment for pirates, so be careful out there in the Romcific Ocean.

I think I might move this thread as it's rather vague, and the OP doesn't seem to be looking for specific Nintendo emu help.


Edit:
Moved to GG.

You aren't considered as a pirate if you have already bought retail copies. However, i download roms or isos only for games that i don't own

Owning the game doesn't mean you can download the ISO/ROM legally, it depends on the country.

Wait, what's the title if I download a few hundred?

Well, if you download the rom it depends on your country. If you make it yourself with a cable and money, it's always legal. Also, they can tell the difference when they inspect the computer.

Dumping the ROM/creating the ISO yourself is also illegal in some countries..

Oh, oops guess I should check. I mean I only pirate if I can't get the game in the States.
