That is totally flawed logic, if you don't offer it as a downloadable SSD
then someone is going to do a favor for their friends by making an SSD and
emailing it to them because they only have an emulator. Then that SSD will
likely be passed around.
However if you offer a download then people will say to their friends it is
only ?2 go and download your own copy and support the effort.
