1) If some games are still in copyright etc. why do they still feature on the site?
Actually, copyrights last for 75 to 125 years (depending on the country, and there may be other nuances to when that period is counted from).

We don't delete the entries for games whose downloads have been removed. This is because
a) said reviews are products of someone's work and it would be asinine to destroy it just like that.
b) the game's status may change later, and changing the status takes five clicks for any game in the database.

2) What does it mean when the game is said to be "sold" - has some company "bought" it or is it now on sale somewhere else?
It means we found that new copies of it are for sale somewhere.
