Is Piracy justified?

[Melcadrien]

That's a loaded question and the answer can be just as gray as it could be black and white. We all know piracy is illegal but we also know that without it we cannot access parts of our recent past without it because the content that exists for it is either out of our price range or is no longer in a physical format(In gaming terms, that is).

I remember making a presentation on whether emulation, gaming in specific, is justifiable and that in itself is also in the similar field.
