Piracy.
Added: Copyright Infringement - Theft of Intellectual Property
Distributing the emulators themselves is not illegal. Distributing the games is.
Making Illegal copies of Cd's
Yes, because the creators of the legal copies are not making any money.
The illegal copying of books and CDs is called piracy. This involves making unauthorized duplicates of copyrighted material and distributing them without permission. Piracy is a violation of intellectual property rights and is punishable by law.
Counterfeiting
No, it is not technically illegal to lend a friend a CD or DVD for personal use. Copyright law allows individuals to lend items they have purchased to friends for personal use. However, making copies or distributing the content would be a violation of copyright law.
piracy
Nope..
Not if you own the VHS copy and are copying it for personal use. By law you are allowed to make a "back up" copy. As long as you are not making multiple copies and distributing them there is no infringement.
gene cloning
Mitosis
One method of making copies of DNA is through a process called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In PCR, a DNA template is mixed with primers, nucleotides, and DNA polymerase, and subjected to cycles of heating and cooling to amplify the target DNA region. This results in millions of copies of the DNA target.
