If its available for sale where you live downloading it is immoral and illegal.
If its NOT available for sale where you live its moral, and illegal.
Generally if I download music, ROMs, or movies, its stuff the markert isnt making available to me in any for to buy.
Take for instance Legendary Wings, a NES game Capcom made that I loved to rent a lot as a kid but never was able to buy it. Now I have the cash, but Capcoms neither selling the NES game, nor a remake. And the resellers market gives no money to the company that made it. So why is it any diffrent if I give money to joe shmoe for the game that has no money going to Capcom, versus downloading it, forgoing the crazy bididng process, and playing it? If however I downloaded it under these situations - and Capcom tommorow releases a GBA port, I am MORALLY OBLIGATED to buy that port as its now BECOME available and I owe Capcom that sale.
Thats generally my call.
