If the games industry didn't want used games sold, they would tell EB and Gamestop to stop and they would have to. Remember, game companies can get retail corps to do things with even the hint of not letting them sell their merchandise.
With such high game prices and such low margins for the retailer, game makers have to let retailers resell or there would be not enough profit to stay in business, and that would lead to less places to buy the game maker's games.
60% of all videogames FAIL. Maybe it wouldnt be as high if more people actually bought their games instead of copying them. All copying does is leave the game industry even more in the hands of the mainstream markets. I think if you want to see more of the niche titles it would be wise to not cheat the industry.

Roms, originals and backups; all have their uses so to shy away from either of them is daft.
Diversity.
I've never had a beef with the emulation of older games. Though a few years ago I was more rabidly against the piracy of current or recent games. Particularly during the Dreamcast era. Lately, though, I've softened my opposition to it quite a bit. I'm still not a big supporter of current game piracy, but I don't really care much about the issue anymore. When other people do it, it doesn't bother me like it used to. I've also taken up the practice of giving certain GBA games "trials", and "filling in a few gaps" of my Dreamcast library, if I may use a few euphemisms.
