I agree with you. However, now that you bring it up, I wonder what the law says? My guess is it's technically still not legal, at least in the US. :(

It is 100% legal in the USA to use an emulator to run ROMs you dumped from legally purchased games.

I believe GP was talking about downloading a rom which someone else dumped, but which I myself did not dump from my copy.
