Is Abandonware Piracy?
A Wired News article looking at the popularity of abandonware sites. These are websites that offer downloads of old software that is no longer sold anywhere. It’s not hard to figure out where the legal questions start to come up, but the supporters of abandonware say they’re obviously not pirating anything. Since no company is even selling the product, they’re certainly not taking any money away from a company. However, companies that have plans to rerelease certain programs (mostly games) don’t always see things that way. 1 Comments | Leave a Comment..
