Are ROMs legal if you own the original game?
No. You cannot legally download a ROM image even if you own the game. While US copyright law does permit a backup of most media (providing you make the backup yourself), the verdict of the Atari vs. JS&A lawsuit would indicate that video game cartridges are non-volatile and are thus not permitted to be duplicated, even for personal use. Also, if the game has any form of copyright protection on it, copying it would be a violation of the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act).

Can you burn a song that is no longer available for sale onto a CD without violating copyright laws?
If you already own a copy of the song, then copying it from a digital file to CD is not a problem. Copying from vinyl to tape or from tape to some other medium or from a hard drive, which can fail, to a CD or DVD, which is durable and serves as a backup, is considered fair use. But if you never paid for the tune in the first place, well, that's another kettle of fish. If you contact the copyright owner, he may give you permission. You would need permission of the composers, performers and producers to use their copyrighted works as well as their trademarked names. Furthermore, even if you may qualify for the exemption of "fair use" for limited copies made for your personal use, you may not sell those copies (or even distribute them freely) to others without the risk of having to explain your actions in a federal lawsuit.

Also, § 109 prohibits rental or lease of copies of software without a license.
