Ever do it? Is it ever okay? I have engaged in the practice, but more in the "keep circulating the tapes" sense, rather than the pirating of new games. The way I see it, piracy is the only practical way to get many older games. And, in a few cases, the only way to get them at all. I also don't feel particularly bad about it, because the developers and publishers are no longer making money off the sale of most 16-bit games. This excuse, of course, falls apart if the games are on virtual console or something, but many aren't.
