I think the whole issue is only a way to blow up hot air and serve no real purpose. The gaming industry don't really want to shut us,
www.abandonia.com, down at all. This is all a question of money, like everything else... And in term of money, we are actually helping those companies by giving them incredible visibility and publicity asking for nothing in return.
I think the real reason behind the bill is to shut down really illegal sites, mainly warez and torrent sites. And while abandonware is not legal per se, it is not illegal per se either.
