Dude, not to be picky or anything, but I can assure you most people on this forum are well aware of this. I for one do the ocasional ROm set copy for a friend, and even mail them out. True I migth get busted, but I refuse to let myself be controlled and limited. I do not do this for profit, I do it because I like the look of joy on a guys face when he loads up some obscure game he remembers fondly and never knew where to get it from. And if a gaming company knocks on my door bitching how I am stealing from them? then I point to the over 150 PSX CD's I have bought and the growing stack of Dreancast games as well. And then I show them to my PC game collection (62 and growing) as well. The people that do this to play games for free are usually the kiddies that get a N64 emulator. It's sad that they leech off other peoples passions, but it happens.
What I'm saying basically is dont worry about it. Everybody has thought about it before and very obviously decided not to worry.
