Is abandon ware illegal? [ 05-19-2002: Message edited by: Elethi ]

Sorry. After 5 years on Kali it almost comes naturally now and then. 
Fallout 1 and 2 are not abandonware; they were recently re-released. 10 dollars for both, I think you could afford it.
Otherwise, www.the-underdogs.com or something.

Even my deadbeat ass could afford it. So I did.
In fact, I did too. I now own Fallout 1 and 2.

Be very careful what you say here.
Edit: Believe me, I'm lazy. VERY lazy. And I still found time to go out and get them. [ 05-19-2002: Message edited by: Soldar ]
That, and to get a game that is currently on the shelves, you have to go through illegal means anyway. Not, like, say...abandonware, eh?
i'm not trying to use it as an excuse. abandonware isnt stealing IMHO. let's just drop the fact that i titled it "warez" i put the wrong word. im not asking where i can get a warez version of say, JK2 or anything like that. im looking for free old games that the companies have abondonded as a means of sales.
ABANDONWARE isn't stealing. WAREZ is stealing.
The Fallout series is NOT abandonware. Thus, it is WAREZ. WAREZ is stealing. STEALING is illegal.
Do I have to explain it any simplier?
Trout just gave a bad example in his first post, probably not knowing that the Fallout series was re-released.
