Sony vs Connectix 2000) which would constitute fair use.

Thanks for this bit of info, I retract my previous statement. I wasn't aware of this precedent and after reading more about it I will agree emulation seems legal.

Yeah, not really. What that product did was very narrow and it didn't contain anything infringing.
Nothing to do with downloading copyrighted material and cracking encryption on the fly.

Can you point to case law precedence because I'm not tech savvy enough to understand your difference?

Connectix didn't use a sony bios to achieve their goals, as in you could use their product without needing a sony bios image. They didnt bypass any protections ( you needed the legit playstation game if memory serves), etc.
In the long run Sony won that battle, when they lost the court case Connectix sold them the software and they discontinued it.

Not a word.

Actually it is often accepted as a word and is listed in many dictionaries !
According to the WIKI :
--- Quote ---In the last twenty-five years, irregardless has become a common entry in dictionaries and usage reference books, although commonly marked as substandard or dialect. It appears in a wide range of dictionaries including Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language Unabridged (1961, repr. 2002),[4] The Barnhart Dictionary of Etymology (1988), The American Heritage Dictionary (Second College Edition, 1991),[5] Microsoft Encarta College Dictionary (2001), and Webster's New World College Dictionary (Fourth Edition, 2004).[6] The definition in most dictionaries is simply listed as regardless (along with the note nonstandard, or similar). Merriam–Webster even states "Use regardless instead."
