hi, discontinued or not, until microsoft put the game in the public domain, as freeware, it is still illegal to distribute it without their prior authorisation. whether it's easy to get hold of or not is irrelevant, the law still applies. just because you can't find a copy, doesn't mean it's ok to pirate it, microsoft still own the copyright. kevin - (lord l) "Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice"-Will Durant contact me: email/msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype: lordandladyl ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2007 1:47 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Moderator warning: Piracy on list.
