most of the software we consider 'pirated' the outside world considers abandonware or 'so old nobody cares'
Yes true, and i actually agree that its ok to download games you cannot buy anymore. But downloading new software that they still sell, that is VERY WRONG.
Atleast with wrong abandonware, the company does not loose anything, since they do not sell orginal copys anymore, and also in the end the game would dissapear and die if there wasnt for that you could download the game somewhere.
Nice to have back2theroots btw... they do a good job with sharing legal abandonware :-)
