Can you get fined for emulating games?

If you own a game physically, you are likely to emulate or own a ROM of the game. However, there's no legal precedent in the United States to say it's illegal. There is no trial on record of any company going to court over emulators or ROMs and their use.

Is it legal to emulate games?
Emulators are not illegal, as they are simply re-made version of consoles. They usually have their own license and such, too. The only possible illegal part of emulators is the actual game(ROM). As if you take a ROM downloaded from the internet, it is technically pirating.
