A game is not an abandonware just because its small. Actually, the copyright laws says that abandonware and things like 'download and delete after 24 hours' doesn't exist..

BUT, some software firms don't sell the game anymore and think its cool to turn it avaible for free. And yeah, thas cool.

However, the most companies don't do that. Like Maxis and so many others... Example: Eletronic Arts created a pack with some oldies, like Need For Speed 2 and Need For Speed Hot Pursuit.
This away, any download of this games is ilegal.

The abandonware thing need a better explanation, and of course, the opinion of game companies..

Here in Brazil doesn't exist any law for software piracy, but, the government uses U.S. laws... This gave us some ways of 'protection', because some things don't fit in our country..

Well, just blablabla LOL
