Yes you are right to say "which I FIND to be illegal". Because there is law in EU and in the US to that allow people to make product dependent to another product as soon as he don't distribute the other product with it's product.
That's mean if the end user buy the other product by himself. This law apply to any products including emulators. It's legal to make a emualtor dependent to a system BIOS/ROM if the end user own the original system BIOS/ROM himself.

Maybe, maybe not, I don't know the laws about marketing and I don't think you know them. lot of software products out there have been advertised with this kind of methods. Lindows for example, Star Writer which claim to allow to read and write word documents... etc But knowing if it's legal I don't think you know more than me.

Here you show how bad you can interpret what you read. Ignoring accusation of someone about illegality of your product don't mean at all that you don't obey to the law. Else why sometimes people who sue someone or a company don't win? Simply because accusations on the cases, are wrong. And it's the choice of the MorphOS Team to ignore or not the accusation. And personally I'd do the same if someone accuse me and I know that it's completely wrong.
> I said; "Regarding this specific issue..."
Even in this specific issue my remark on laws apply perfectly as you interpreted the law differently from some others that show it's not clear ;)
> That's why I keep saying; prove me wrong!
To prove you WRONG is not the role of me or anybody else here. Here everybody give their opinions. But the only people that can PROVE something in any cases is a judge. It's evident that you won't change your opinion despite what we can say you because of you are sure of what you've understood or read even if it's wrong. That's how most of humans are :(
