That's technically legal right? Kinda like ripping a CD?

IANAL, depending on your jurisdiction, downloading someone else's backup of something can be illegal. Backing up your own physical copy and using that is very often legal.

Usually its the uploading or distributing thats the illegal part.

Ripping the game from your own system/cartridge is legal, downloading an identical copy from the internet is not.
