Piracy is morally reprehensible. However, if companies don't provide a better service than the pirates do, they will continue to lose. If it was quick, easy, and cheap to download the entire back catalog of games released for NES/SNES/Game Boy/N64 at a reasonable price through legitimate means, most people would happily pay that price.

However, anti-consumer crap/charging exorbitant amounts of money for ancient games/other bad practices always lead to bad things.

Or the guy who kicks dogs.

Anyway, piracy is a victimless crime if it doesn't hurt the bottom line of the people who hold the rights to that data.

Piracy is illegal.
Don't want the Feds to bust your door down, then don't break the law.
Even if you don't go to jail/prison for piracy, it stacks up with any other law you break or crime you commit.

You're the kind of person who just marks posts and moves on. It's disgusting how easily you dismiss the consequences of your actions. Eventually, you'll be forced to be held accountable, most likely in the form of you getting suspended for abusing reports.

There's only one and one condition I can condone or find piracy/illegal downloads acceptable. Think this was even mentioned somewhere as being tolerable as well, at least at the time several years back.

You own a physical copy of a game that's no longer in print. Because let's face it, they don't produce SNES or PS1 games very often as of late. Due to data rot/chemical decay making it a literal time bomb or something catastrophic damaging it or the system. It can become difficult or impossible to play. Thus if you still retain the physical unplayable copy, it becomes justifiable.

It's still skirting a fine line, but at least in that case it's understandable and you do technically own the license to play it. Problem is the hardware fails.

If the game is still available for download such as NES games on Wii or DS or whatever the hell it is, then you should really seek that route instead. However, there's some that don't even get that option.

I can only sigh at people who do it routinely or complain games are bad and not worth it as a justification. To be fair I'd probably reach a point of not giving as much of an effort if people just downloaded my toils for free as well.

Don't feel sad. Open your heart to the power of righteous indignation. Dull your empathy in pursuit of an idea of inhuman importance. And that idea is that everyone who marks topics deserves to be mercilessly shamed at any cost.

I'm in favour of piracy if there's really no other way to get something that you'd genuinely pay good money (or have already) paid good money for. I felt no qualms pirating old N64 games I owned in my youth, considering there is no other way to play them except by buying an overpriced N64 on the black market.

Although I feel that's actually not generally the case and a lot of pirates use it like it is even though really they just want to be cheap ass thieving dicks.

Yeah yeah I know you're going to jump on me about how piracy isn't theft, very bored of that conversation...
