I do love latent preservating games I never owned

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

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.

For me it’s pretty black and white here. If you don’t sell me something, there is no guilt anymore and I can download it for free. Same issue with TV shows in foreign languages where you can’t subscribe or buy anything (I’m looking at you Poland, Japan, and any other weird country that seems to ignore the rest of the world).
