Does it even illegal when you got the ps2, but afraid of dumping own bios from it? Guess no.

It's not illegal.
This thread is also super old, next time please make your own thread instead of bumping a really old one. Thanks.

Yeah it's not legal that way, just like it's not legal to download games you own.
When you make an image of your disc, or dump the BIOS, legally you are making a backup copy of the software. In most countries, you have a legal right to do that. In order for the backup to remain legal, you must remain in possession of the original even if it becomes broken. That's pretty much the situation in a nutshell.
