Now you're talking about commercials use of downloaded ROMs vs. personal use. I'd say that the majority of ROMs are downloaded for personal use, so the idea of "bootlegging Pac-Man ROMs into a MAME cabinet and placing it into a Chuck-E-Cheese," isn't really relevant.


Is it any less of a copyright violation?
