If I'm understanding this correctly this offloads the copyright issue by making it the users responsibility to upload a rom?
No one really talks about it but the first iPod had the same approach to letting people play their thousands of mp3 files (which I imagine 99% of were obtained illegally). Apple was eventually able to create a legal marketplace for mp3s but early days it was all napster/limewire/kazaa/etc
Obviously Playstation/Nintendo roms are not as prevalent but its an interesting thought?
