Agreed. I prefer roms vs carts just for space reasons. My office/game room/man cave/ is at critical mass. Plus, I don't have to plug and unplug carts. However, I fully understand the other side of the coin, and making people who distribute homebrew games guess on a case by case basis who would or wouldn't pirate would be a PITA. Once the rom is "in the wild", there's no way to get it back. I know that I don't share roms I have purchased, but that's easy for anyone to say. The encryption scheme is currently the only way to release roms and keep them where they belong.
