If the law regarding ISO's is the same as with ROM's, you can only have one if you possess the original game.

i cant stress enough..

for it to be completely legal.. you dont only need to posess the game, you need to make the copy yourself from your own game.. your own personal backup.. otherwise no matter what the circumstances are its illegal

No it takes something like 100 +/- years before a patent/tradmark dies
