When you "purchase a game", you're not purchasing the game itself. You're purchasing the rights to use a single copy of that software. So if you have a game in cartridge and ROM format, you are actually in possession of of two copies of the software. One legal, one illigal.

BUT, if you were somehow able to get Nintendo to take your cartridge back without them paying you for it, then the ROM could serve as your legal copy of the game.


How's that for legalities?
But wouldn't "returing" the game return the licence? I'm pretty sure the two are attached leagly some how.
