:not_ok: How is it now that abandonia has gone legit. i was once a loyal abandonia dl'er. Now I have found something else, due to the ESA marking of one of my fav game series. Now I find out another one of my fav games is off limits too. So much for remaining in the shadows. Why must we conform to EA's greed? Why give up our fav games in exchange for a meaningless contract and label such as "ESA protected" or "copyrighted"? The games are no longer sold, so why must EA keep on "protecting" them. I am for free enterprise and capitalism, but if the games are no longer even available what point is there to claiming a so-called mark. Also, unfortantely we can no longer remain protected for out downloads as as soon as we register to a site we also sign up ourselfs for tracking. That is if those Mega corporations have a problem with our opinions or activities. :ranting:

You should read this!

Shocking. Let's all mourn for the loss of a loyal downloader - whatever that means.

[Reup]

Yeah. What on earth are we going to do with all the spare bandwidth... Maybe we could host an ESA-mirror

Edit: oh btw, Raffles. Go and work on your thesis or it'll never get finished girl :bleh:

We have allways been legit!

If you don't like the way we operate.... Bugger off!

Well I guess your computer is no longer for sale too... Does that mean I can just come in and take it? *please say yes, I want another one* Or will you protect it, if somebody want's to take it?

It's the LAW - if you don't like it... Who cares.

Now, methinks its time to close!

Why doesn't someone closes this? Falling on the poor bastard with law on your side actually makes you feel better ?

[Danny252]

Let's not forget that the so-called "poor bastard" a) started it by creating this thread and b) has forsaken Abandonia for good and now visits sites which share his somewhat lax views on copyright laws, so there's no reason why we should be feeling sympathetic towards him, really.
