If you were to have downloaded old Sega Genesis games and NES games while the GC was still new, you would have thought the same as you do now, that they are old and hard to find and that no one really cares about them anymore. Had you waited till the Wii came out, you would have realized that those old games are now available on the VC and that you are expected to pay for them. Now, since you have already stolen those games, you no longer need to buy them and are costing Nintendo money all the same. The point is that you're giving these old games and old game developers a time limit (that is in your mind) of when you think enough time has gone by and when you feel that it is okay to obtain these older games by downloading them for free. That time limit or the rarity that you have in your mind is not your call to make and you do not know what console or what developer has in store for their old games.
In the end, it is their games to do what they like, not yours. If you feel okay with downloading games for free, then fine, but if you don't (as you say) you have to respect all games and game developers alike.
