There's something sick in recent trends when people fear of punishment or feel shame for using complete abandonware from early 80s. They absolutely need to pay money and get entertained, with convenient cloud-based DRM-enabled streaming service at sofa. This attitude is worse than any piracy.
BTW, Nintendo and their Yakudza internet patrols don't care and you don't need darknet torrents to get ROMs, they're everywhere. Emulators are mostly opensource and banned only on iOS because iOS is for Clash of Kings and not for retrocomputing.
