The only way to affect a real change in this manner is to actually put up money.* Have a drive and purchase for release into the public domain these older titles.* Sure, it requires more work, money, organization, and time than signing a petition, but then again, it might actually have an impact.* Hey, it worked for the Blender guys.

I agree to nearly everything you say, but surely not to give them money! The industry has earned money for that work already. They wouldn't have continued and live from that if it has not been enough money they earned.

Every company, regardless what they produce, should produce and act like the buyers want them to. If you agree with their products and their doing, buy their products. If you agree to their products and don't agree to their doing, don't buy their products even if you would like having them!

If enough people don't buy new products, because they not agree with the doing of the producer, the producer has exactly two choises; stop their business or do what the buyers want.

Working and earning money for that is a great thing, as long as it doesn't get too big. When a company gets as big as "microshit" and they tell you what you have to do, instead of asking what you want to do, they must be stopped.

If you want to be told by a few rich people how you should spend your life, simply continue as you suggested
