Haha... and yet you took the time to respond in the most complaining tone of anyone yet. For the most part it's been a pretty reasonable conversation/thread thus far until you came along. Additionally the very 1st post started with me saying Ive pirated material before. Also some of the games have recently been re-released (Monkey Island games for example), so I suspect the copyright holders might be interested.
I cannot case no stone in this thread or at any pirate. It has always been a battle for the acquisition of our non-discretionary income. That is why most companies will not send their old products/software into public domain because they simple want you to spend money on their "NEW" products. If a company felt that they were losing substantial amounts of money due to an "OLD" product of theirs being exploited in retro-products or file sharing they would go after those who are committing the violation of their copyrights. It is simple economics that there is not enough money in it to pursue these people and the cost would out weight the effort. But, we are talking about some very old software and most of this companies are gone and the programmers have moved on to bigger and more lucrative ventures:). Still, we should be sensitive to what is not ours.
