Well, to quote the FAQ on this site:

Quote:
Q: What is Abandonware? Is it legal?

A: Wikipedia: "Abandonware is computer software which is no longer being sold or supported by its copyright holder. Alternately, the term is also used for software which is still available, but on which further support and development has been deliberately discontinued." Since the software is no longer sold or supported, the copyright holders are not directly harmed in any way. This is why abandonware sites are, for the most part, ignored by the law. The distribution of copyrighted software however is, and will allways be, illegal!
So in short: LBA 1 is concidered to be abandonware for the above mentioned reasons, you can download it for free as well (on this site actually, among with many other great classics)
