Maybe they should make their older games easier to get then ROM sites wouldn't exist, One of my all time favourite games was Skies of Arcadia, Initially only on the Dreamcast but then later on the Gamecube with updated features, Quite difficult to get a hold of and if you do get a disc it's in terrible condition which then means the game won't play properly, Same with Pokemon Colosseum, An old favourite of mine.
Problem with Nintendo is it is run by old Japanese men who mentally are living in a bygone era and have no clue of the modern world and video game conservation, an old friend of mine who used to work at Nintendo magazine said the same, They are completely out of touch old men that are stuck in their ways.

its a shame, agree on the the principal but what about IP that is no longer available to purchase? Its not like i can go out and buy a new Playstation and purchase new titles for it. I think the law needs to be looked at in that sense. Music and film 99% of the IP is available on newer formats or digital download and can be recorded on say a Sky box to watch again and again so it is a valid argument that it is available to buy still but this is not the case for games
I want to play Vagrant story, my only option is risk the second hand market with damaged copies and 20 year old hardware or emulation. its a dam long game what if 3 months later i get to an area that requires 3 play throughs and the disc is damaged in that area? who is going to offer a refund on a second hand game 3 months later, absolutely no one and even if there was such a return policy there would be arguments that you could have caused the damage and it worked fine for the previous owner!

I agree Dice. They are hard core when it comes to their roms tbh. I remember many years ago some guy on a forum said that his ISP had sent him a fine from Nintendo for downloading a DS rom. £500 or there abouts, IIRC he just paid it without any arguing.
I've got a few N64 roms but nothing else. TBH I don't really want to play any of their other stuff.
