has anyone bothered to email the company and ask direct if they have abandoned the game. If they have then it is easy enough to put up - something in the email about if they aint selling it make it available as freeware as there are still poeple who cant find it but are willing to play it still.
If enough people email them and put the pressure campaign on to get some of these 5+ year old games out into the abandonware sites more companies might relent and actually realise more of them.
For some its a silly obsesson with copywright. If its no longer sold or been superceded let us have it for free.
I know i sound a bit annoyed or activists here but common logic should prevail - for those titles that are still supported being sold actively by the company then sure fight the copywright battles but if the revenue is paltry just let it go free.
