Like for most illegal things, it's more a question of your own morals. Especially considering the odds of going to jail for playing an Infocom game downloaded on the net

Maybe it hurts the companies, but it doesn't hurt the creative people.
I'd like to know 10 game developers, that:
1) still benefit more than 10 years after from their products
2) are against their games being downloaded by fans
Maybe they exist, but I promise I won't download and play their games
(Of course if Ron G. and Tim S. (anonimity preserved) were of those, I would be very sad, even though I own all the originals)

Now this is rock'n'roll attitude, sueing kids who copy their albums. These assholes make me sick.
If anybody sees them in a gig, just throw a can of beer in their face for me.
