Is gameboy emulation okay?

[Lugnut]

The main reason I don't think so is because it's still technically being sold at places like gamestop.
Input please?

oh that's cool because now I'm not breaking the law by using PJ64 and OoT
I even still have the copy and my N64
I just use PJ64 when at my dad's

Uh...

[Scream.]

I honestly think this is fair.

[zookuw]

As long as you own the game.

[Lugnut]

So what if you had a multiplayer gameboy emulator

How is it piracy if you buy it afterward?
Its a Win-win situation.

Nintendo gets your money, you get a new game. How is that losing? Besides losing your life.

Example time!

You illegally steal a loaf of bread from a store. Eat half of it, and later decide to purchase it.
You think you'll just walk out of there without a problem?

NONONONONONONO. It's still quite illegal.

I'm going to go steal some food from a store and eat it, then come back the next day and buy some more because I like it!

It's not theft because they got my money!
