I like to think of it as fishing old games out of a dumpster. They were carelessly thrown away, no attempt is made to preserve them or make profit from them.

They are fair game.

I mean – the companies could have made an effort to make that money. If they don’t, profits aren’t automatic. I think this is clearly a grey area.

I am cool with that. Just pass the file forward once it is searched for as lost media.
