Thanks all for your help.
By the way, i never realised how much bloody jargon could be used in the space of about 4 posts. Haha. To reply the one who called himself 'Punch' (haha), so much for not flaming again, and also, abandonware is basically just the same as freeware. Oh, and , since i'm an unregistered user i might as well go ahead and say F U C K you. Thanks everyone else. |

And while I do understand that you were annoyed by punch's lame comments, Vince, I don't think you should flame right back at him, even if you're not a registered member and can't be warned for it.:not_ok: |

OK, sorry about the whole swearing thing, but i didn't do anything to get him to act like he did. I don't see what the point is in annoying somebodyfor no good reason.
If abandonware is illegal, why is abandonia not closed down? |

It is illegal but it's not prosecuted

That's cause it's in a gray zone, abandonware. Technically, it's illegal, but most companies can't be bothered to put time, money and effort in having their games taken down. We do take note of games being ESA-protected or still giving a revenue for the developers/publishers, and if they explicitely ask to take a game of them down, we will, but overall, they either can't be bothered to put resources in against us, or simply don't mind it.

If it's illegal in the first place, I would rather that all ESA protected games would not be blocked. If I ever become a lawyer, I'd love to destroy the stupid ESA. (MWA HA HA!) :Titan: :twisted: :karate: I like these emoticons; can you tell?

They're just doing their jobs too, really. You wouldn't go after the baker for it too, now would you?

Besides, if we didn't take down the games ESA asked us to, they would close the site down probably, even if the others don't.

Be happy that I'm in a good mood and that I'll simply close this thread since the question already been answered. |
