Call me arrogant if you like, but by the same token you might be called back as "ignorant".

and whats ESA rulez ?[/b]

1. Abandonia will not offer downloads/links to downloads of any game copyrighted by an ESA member company in less than 15 years since its publication
2. Abandonia will not offer downloads/links to downloads of any game copyrighted by a subsidiary of an ESA member company in less than 10 years since its publication
3. If Abandonia breaks these regulations, any and all permissions/agreements with ESA are rendered void and thus any and all downloads/links to downloads of games copyrighted by ESA member and subsidiary companies have to be immediately removed
In regards to #3... we've been there nearly two years back. Wasn't pretty, but we had no choice: If we refused to do it, ESA would just get the site taken down by the ISP on whose server it resides and then follow by filing lawsuits against site owner, the staff members and major contributors. Effectively, an end to Abandonia's existence and really big trouble for everyone of us.
Also, these are quite relevant:
1. If a company demands so, Abandonia will remove any downloads/links to downloads to any game(s) they hold copyrights to
2. If a game is sold, whether by a distributor who still has some stock remaining, is republished or included as a bonus with a newer game (like what happened with Bard's Tale), Abandonia will not offer any downloads/links to downloads of it (note: second-hand copies do not count)
