But actually downloading them is more illegal? playing them in a browser is exactly the same as downloading. how do you think your browser plays them if it doesnt download the file? So it would be looked at the same if you had a ROM and emulator on your PC vs. just playing the game in your browser? Who is doing this looking? If it's your ISP, you're fine unless they're super crazy zealous about this (no one is, as there's basically no pressure from the industry for them to do anything). I've never even heard of companies actually prosecuting for ROMs on your hard drive and sending teams to seize your computer, but if that ever happened, you'd be in the worst shape still having a ROM on your hard drive, better shape if it was deleted, and better shape still you'd written data over the sectors where the ROM had been written previously. When you access data in your browser, it is downloaded into a directory of temporarily files that (depending on your caching settings) is deleted as soon as the directory surpasses a certain size and all the older files there have been deleted, or when you close your browser. Basically, ROM ownership isn't going to get you in trouble. Maybe if you start to host the files for other people. --- "That is why war is so tragic.
