ROM pirates, emulation, your heritage, etc.

http://www.idsa.com/releases/2_14_2001.html

they're going after people that are distributing ROM images of old arcade and console games. Now the hammer is coming down.

these are games that are not for sale.
the people being sued do not have money.

i don't really see the point of this.

i don't understand the wisdom behind withholding a previously available product from the public simply because it's old. Give it away for free, donate it to the Library of Congress, burn every game made prior to 1985 to a CD and sell THAT.
