Hopefully nothing?? Disrespect authors? HUH?
I'll say what everyone is thinking. I hope genuine abandonware is allowed to be freely distributed.
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. Even if you legally own the original, what good is it to you if it is a crime to get a copy, or the copy is not available due to public fears of piracy crimes?
