Jubb, You are really stupid... Its illegal to download any game that is not freeware or open source. Simple as that. Take a look at the EUA in a games manual. You are allowed to MAKE your own backup but in no right are you allowed to distribute it or download someone elses back up. PLUS if you "lend" your friend a game you must hand over ALL the original material that was included in the game.

So if you friend wants to play Counter-Strike and you give him your CD-Key you must also give him everything else that came with Counter-Strike.

Roms are Illegal plain and Simple. Games do not become public domain till 50+ years (after the copyright expires).

Don't try to tell me otherwise because I AM A DEVELOPER!

Man, I thought pirates were just thieves, didnt know they were stupid also...
