I've seen this so many times now, people selling disks with loads of ROMs on that they just downloaded from the net.

Even more annoying is the fact they include an emulator that was released as freeware, not that I know of any emulator that requires a subscription or something.
With some fancy box art, any unsuspecting buyer who has little knowledge on the subject is going to think "Wow, every game on one disk! Bargin!".
Maybe some people will buy it because it saves the hassle of download the ROMs. Even so, it's still wrong. I bought a disk like this many years ago from a market when I knew practically nothing about the subject. £5 for a disk with 166 MD ROMs that now practically doesn't work because of the cheap disk.
