Incredible !!! modron registered in this forum only to complain here ! (his post count is 4, and all of these 4 posts are here)
I heard here that I'm helping to development of a software created for piracy purposes.
Developing an emulator is not piracy if the emu doesn't contain code that has a copyright, such as BIOS. Using PCSX2 with a BIOS dumped from your own console is legal, using it with a downloaded BIOS is piracy.
It's same for this plugin : it has been designed so it enforces you to own the buzzers, and these buzzers are sold only with a Buzz game (at my knowledge, tell me if I'm wrong). So it enforces you to own the original game.
Using such a plugin with original buzzers is right, but using it with a keyboard or another input device is piracy, because it means the user doesn't own the original game, he's downloaded an ISO instead.

EDIT2 : About ISOs, ISO plugins haven't been developed for piracy purposes. They've created mainly because CD/DVD accesses on PC are slow and could cause big lags in emulation, whereas accessing an ISO on a HDD is WAY faster and doesn't make any big noise unlike as DVD drives.
You can dump ISOs of your own games, but only for personal purposes.

EDIT3 : (hopefully the last) If you want to play Buzz with a keyboard, create your own plugin or mod yourself an existing plugin.
