But the emulators themselvs are untouchable.

Why? Aren't there patents, copyrights, etc. on the hardware just like there are on the games?

The emulators are not patented. The hardware is though.

Actually .. I did mispeak. Alot of companies consider them illegal but to my knowledge ... they have no case.

On second thought, an article from what appears to be a legal type news site:

I didn't read it though.
