Still a means of getting
plays free: Abandonware!
Abandonware is the contraction of 2 English words: Abandonment
& Software. The principle of the abandonware is to
download free plays which should not any more have been
on sale nowhere for more than 5 years (and not left there
is more than 5 years). From where, of the plays given
up by the editors.
The legislation is rather
complicated and there are not really good definitions
on this practice. The abandonware is not legal, but certain
companies tolerate this phenomenon. From the point of
view of certain editors it is, "that to start from
the moment when a software is diffused, even on a purely
free basis, on Internet (or by any other means) without
the agreement of the editor, it is a question of an act
of counterfeit, by definition illegal."
Good French sites will ensure
you that the plays indeed were subjected to the authorization
of their editors, such as FreeOldies,
Lost
Treasure France and 2001Jeux.
Attention not to be confused
with the sites will warez, which them diffuse plays generally
very recent and in all illegality. The total reverse of
the abandonware. The word will warez means that it is
a pirated software, one can also call it progz. I you
will explain some methods for "cracker" protections
of games or cd in pirated games chapters and Copies CD
chapters.
It is true that by seeking very small
little, one can easily find the last play left one month
ago by making research with the term will warez. But made
very attention, in addition to being in the illegality,
you are likely not to have exactly what you wish or to
download in the play of the viruses, Trojan horses and
other filths.
