Why is Abandonware considered Pirating, again? That's exactly the sort of attitude that we only really see out of LucaArts. Any sane person says "we published that OVER 10 years ago, and no longer print or sell it, have fun".
So to clarify, I do not advocate PIRATING, but I certainly do advocate people taking the time to enjoy classic games that have long since been ABANDONED by their publishers.
I think the general consensus is that once you no longer have the will or means to profit from your creation, it belongs to the world to which you unleashed it.
But don't get me wrong, I <3 fascists, too.
