Where did those ROMS originate? I'm sure game companies are okay with us extracting ROMs from game cards. ROMs (for the most part) are all pirated. Now, the people who uses ROMs BUT ALSO own a physical copy of the game itself are few and rare. Even so, it's a gray area of law. Even if I own say a physical Blu-Ray of whatever movie doesn't mean that if I have a pirate copy of it on my hard drive is okay. Seriously, YOU learn what a ROM is, what pirating is and learn to shut up unless you have correct information to share.
Back to the topic of this thread, I do think people have misconceptions about Apple and invariably more so than Android. I have people tell me you can't text message on an iPhone. Someone told me you can't run apps on it (this was iPhone 4 time). Or that you can't put your own music on it except for iTunes bought music. The worst one I've heard so far is that you can't buy the on-contract iPhone in an Apple Store. It's the worst because she loves iPhone but knows NOTHING about it. She didn't know what 4G/3G was, that it had WiFi, that you can use the Internet, etc. Some people are ignorant but hey ignorance is bliss right? That's what I say to all the Android owners who thinks Android is better

It works because video game companies aren't are persistent as music labels. But that doesn't detract from the fact that both are piracy.
