Anyone here going to tell me with a straight face that they think it should be a crime downloading formerly commercial C= PET software, when it has not been available comerically for 25+ years? So what you would be saying is all old computers should tossed. Magnetic media such as 5&1/4" and 8" deteriorate over time.

Hmm.... That would be a fitting punishment for the 90+% of people who pirated the software all those years ago, and now clammor that the games are rightfully abandonware.

Uncomfortably fitting.
