I discovered the hard way how detrimental even unnoticeable input lag can be. Or at least with games like Punch-Out!! and Battletoads (Clinger Winger is downright impossible with any kind of input lag).

I'm kind of amazed how many people don't seem to look at emulators and ROMs as piracy. It's not any different from downloading movies or comic scans, as you said. Unless if video-games are inherently seen as entertainment that isn't worth as much as those other mediums?

That being said, it's not that I haven't or never would pirate, but someone aggressively advocating for it does puzzle me a bit.
