“Ég hélt nú einfaldlega að það væri leifilegt að eiga afrit af leikjum og öðru sem maður hefur keypt og á fyrir. Td. að gera afrit af CD til að eiga backup af tónlistinni sem maður keypti er varla ólöglegt.”
Þú mátt held ég bara nota afrit af hlutum sem þú átt ef þú gerir afritin sjálfur. Svo að þú mátt ekki skrifa romsin, nema þú rippir upprunalegu leikina sem þú átt sjálfur.

Can I Download a Nintendo ROM from the Internet if I Already Own the Authentic Game?
There is a good deal of misinformation on the Internet regarding the backup/archival copy exception. It is not a “second copy” rule and is often mistakenly cited for the proposition that if you have one lawful copy of a copyrighted work, you are entitled to have a second copy of the copyrighted work even if that second copy is an infringing copy. The backup/archival copy exception is a very narrow limitation relating to a copy being made by the rightful owner of an authentic game to ensure he or she has one in the event of damage or destruction of the authentic. Therefore, whether you have an authentic game or not, or whether you have possession of a Nintendo ROM for a limited amount of time, i.e. 24 hours, it is illegal to download and play a Nintendo ROM from the Internet.
