ESA protected roms

Hi everyone,

I have two questions concerning ESA protected roms if anyone would be so kind as to help me out.

Is it illegal to download/obtain or play ESA protected roms?

Is it legal but immoral?

I want to avoid doing anything illegal and that is one reason why I am asking this question. Thanks for any help in advance. :)

Downloading ESA protected roms is more illegal than downloading the ordinary non-ESA protected roms.

Here is a Wikipedia article of the organization.
So downloading ESA protected roms or isos is illegal.
