Depending on the country and local laws, it's also not actually piracy if you own the game in question. You might want to play your cartridge of Super Mario bros., but maybe you no longer have a suitable console, or it's broken, or you don't have a TV that accepts the input. You're usually allowed to download it from elsewhere and play it in an emulator.
Yes and no.
For most countries download such things isn't illegal but uploading/distributing them is. You are allowed to make a backup copy of your game but you are not allowed to share this with anyone else without permission of the copyright owner.
