The reason we are somewhat draconian about this is simple: we don't want Sony or the big N coming down on us and saying "oi, you, shut down or we'll sue you".
Thus we make it as clear as possible that we don't support illegal activities: You are meant to rip your own DC games, make your own N64 roms, rip your own BIOS images. Truth be told if people are pirates, it doesn't concern us: we just don't want to know about it or we have to *****slap you, it's quite simple.
