Of course the person that advocates illegal activity is not normally the one
that gets arrested and prosecuted.  There have been cases where that has been
the case though.  Have you ever heard the term inciting?  The point here is
not whether copying the ROMs is illegal it is the fact that he is advocating
somebody else to do the copying and distributing of said copyrighted
materials and posting them on an FTP site which can cause headaches for
sysadmin(s) there if there were an inquiry.  The worst part of all this is
you and others don't ask the right question:
Is it moral to distribute copyrighted material without permission?
I don't care who owns the material, my opinion (which just happens to be
backed by the laws of the country) is that if you don't have permission to
distribute the material from the owner of the copyright then you are not
morally or legally safe in doing so.
