So then what you're saying is, "Piracy is okay when it serves my purposes
but not okay when it serves someone else's."
I think that distributing .BINs to get these rare, discontinued games into
the hands of people who want them is just as important as distributing
source code to study the games. I fail to see how you can be against one
form of piracy but not against the other.
