...bringing gamers a bad name everywhere.

It's a dumb internet meme which needs to be deleted wherever it is found. I do not know how it originated, but somebody got in their head that they could convince folks that it was okay to keep the ROMs just...24 hours!

Just imagine what'd happen if it was OK to keep GBA ROMs within 24 hours! "Man, I played Wario Ware a whole day, don't wanna touch it again." Of course, folks don't delete the ROMs, do they?

What it comes down to is that strict interpretations of the backup laws seem to indicate that owning a ROM is legal only if you keep a single copy, created from your cartridge and even with your equipment (as some folks say).

This is indeed a pet peeve of mine, and getting rid of it won't drastically improve gamer/corporate relations, but I like to think it would be a little victory for those who seek truth everywhere. Even if you have the ROMzz, understand what the rules are.
