Is it legal to "share" img files through internet?
Since everyone was banned because of begging iso roms or claiming they have the link....
But how if I say would anyone want to share their DEMO roms to other members in this forums?

Yes, it is illegal to distribute copyrighted material over the internet, unless the copyright holder has given his/her permission to distribute that material for free. Game demos are another matter, since a Demo does not represent the final product. However, I don't know what the current legislation says about console game demos in a CD image format though.

If you've made a demo of a game or some other work and want to share it with everybody, go ahead. You are the copyright holder after all.

Demo games can be found on dextrose/google. No need to 'share' them here.
