AFUA visited Thendic-France : Comment 408 of 629 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Frodon on 27-Apr-2002 16:07 GMT | Hello,
Here proof that you can use ROM for personal use and also that using ROM by a software developer is legal: (original document: http://www.eidolons-inn.de/emufaq2000/EmuFAQ_Y2KAddendum2.htm)
"Running under emulation: As we all know by now, emulation is perfectly legal. It is a fact that many emulators are literally works-in-progress and require ROM forms of programs in order to work. It is a fact that <b>developers and emucoders are the only ones who currently have the legal right to make as many ROMs as they need of whatever programs they want for their various projects</b> (Sega v. Accolade). Guess what? I'm not an emucoder. I'm not a software developer. Why can't I make a ROM from a game that I've already bought or obtained through other legitimate means? I have the original sitting right here, and I have the means to make the ROM. I'm not about to start up a software piracy operation. All I want to do is run my legitmately obtained program on an emulator, which is my legal right. <b>As long as it's going to be for personal use, then I have the right to make a non-infringing ROM of that program (Sony v. Universal) and run it on my non-infringing emulator (Sony v. Connectix).</b>"
