I have issues against it. However, I still think Weird Al's satire of music piracy is the greatest voice on much of the issue:
After all, most of your big names aren't actually really hurt by it, but it can actually harm smaller developers.
But in the end, it still technically is illegal. Now, I myself have used emulation for years. It's become more important to me recently, with how great it is to learn speedruns/small tricks. But, I'm playing old games that aren't being sold, aren't making money and that I already own.
It's just a tough call.
