Despite popular belief, Dolphin software in isolation is not illegal to own and operate. Several lawsuits have ruled in favor of emulators falling under fair use, such as {{iw|wikipedia|Sega v. Accolade}} in 1992 and Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. v. Connectix Corporation and Sony Computer Entertainment America v. Bleem in 2000, as well as the {{iw|wikipedia|Digital Millennium Copyright Act}} declaring emulators as exempt from standard copyright protections. However, most methods to obtain the necessary ROMs to play games on Dolphin aside from purchasing directly from the publisher are considered piracy, which is illegal, so proceed with caution. | Despite popular belief, Dolphin software in isolation is not illegal to own and operate.
