Either they made that article out of ignorance, or envy. Possibly both.

Well legally it is the same, but this does not seem to be a legal document. Its an article, and its just unfair to place us between warez site. If we were a warez site I wouldn't see any point in our oldwarez search engine, or the existance of abandonware community... and we're even making efforts to be one of the more "legal" abandonware sites out there, which makes it even more unfair

Heh. We might be an "illegal site" and will always be... But do we support Warez? Never! We condemn it!

That's why we close threads talking or linking to warez on sight.

Personnaly, I beleive those writers are just plainly ignorant of the situation of what they are writing about. Nothing new under the sun anyways...

for distinction we also show the TLD (dunno if it is TLD in english, too, don't even know what's TLD on german )
For anyone that cares, TLD is "top-level domain," - e. g., .com, .net, .ru, etc.

Whats really stupid is that abandonia.com is listed 7th in the "warez-network". There are millions of dirtyer sites than this. It doesn't harm anything or anyone (being abandonware and sticking to the rules example: 8 years, permission and stuff like that there.).
P.S. Blast
Killing the author wouldnt solve anything, but get you busted 4 life.

Hey, I didn't say I would kill him, maybe just whack him in the face :evil:

You know how many Warez sites are in german? I've seen so many of those things it's sick.

:w00t: 7th ?! Wow. How did we get there ? :not_ok:
As for those who wrote that article it seems that they weren't at all well-informed, but if we are placed between those warez sites maybe more people will visit our site, see that we are not a warez site, but still remain here... or maybe not :angry:
