Sammy, you are obeying the letter of the law, while ignoring the spirit. Almost all of the good abandonware sites have setup an easygoing truce with the game companies.
They link to places you can purchase the game if it\'s still available, give reviews, and links to the manufacturers websites. However, most manufacturers don\'t bother asking them to remove links to older programs that you cannot get elsewhere.... in many cases, not even from the original makers. There are a few companies who don\'t allow any abandonware (like sierra), but I think if you vet the sites, you\'ll find most do it like the "underdogs" do (carefully not letting you download anything otherwise available).
