i would'nt get to worried about the foley case.
it will have zero impact on accessibility of roms.. im sorry but some people seem to be in a delusional state where they think downloading roms you dont own is ok, legit, or somehow sanctioned.
the sad fact of the matter is rom sites get shutdown, they're not different then music, movies or game downloads..
it's all the same ball of cheese legally, it's call piracy.
rather copy right holders pursue people who infringe on them as viciously as say the music industry is really of no consequence as has been shown repeatedly you can't stamp out piracy even the RIAA failed.
usually they are after distributors and people making profit, groups like the Riaa targeting users is a rarity, especially now that downloading music, movies, etc on the internet is mainstream no longer hidden in secrecy.. dollar to a donut the judge seeing the case either has broke the copy right laws them self or their underage kids are doing it daily at home.
