I thought the rule with emulation is that if you own a legally purchased physical copy of the game, youre not breaking the law.

That's always been a myth.

The law has never been about your possession of the data. It's about your right to copy it (copyright).

When you buy a game you purchase the license to use it in the exact form you bought it in. You're not automatically permitted to upload it your PC or anything, regardless of the fact that it's a product you bought.

Because the data is considered under a different set of laws than the physical product you bought (which you can otherwise do whatever you want with).
