Question about piracy

[DarkFlare69]

1. Is it illegal to distribute roms?
2. Is it illegal to download roms?

I know one of those is illegal but I keep forgetting which one

 

[Lacius]

In the United States, both are illegal.

Both.

The only time ROMs can be legally acquired is if you rip your own game by yourself.
