Check out, or use all the time, it's the SAME thing, either case it's
pirating.  What do you call it?  The ROM is just like any other software.  I
guess your downloading Pirated programs, and justifying that your just
checking it out, thats OK.  If you were acually going to use it, well they why
bother to buy it, still got that pirated copy you where checking out, and
since you though it was ok before, you might as well keep on using it.

BUY THE ROM's, or BUY a Cheap AMIGA!  If you don't like it, and don't plan on
using it, then you can always sell the ROM's or the Amiga, and delete that
image file you made.  I sure don't think Commodore, ESCOM, or whoever owns
the Amiga now think it's no big deal.
