I should point out now that whether you can copy and use a ROM is not always only dependant on whether you own a game or not. Some newer games have license agreements which override simple copyright regulations. Typically, newer software includes a card listing all the things a user agrees to by opening the software or installing it. Under current copyright law, you can make a copy of a game. But a license can prevent even this. That's not to say that all or even most do: Read your license agreements carefully, just like they say you should.
So, neither of us are correct and incorrect, As this extract of an article says, it is legal to own a copy of a ROM if you own it but in some license agreements in games, it could be illegal.
But shadow, if you download a ROM, and if you get caught, you won't have proof that you owned the game (as you lost it).
