1) Those "geniuses" have no say in whether or not their games can be re-released. For example, Al Lowe has tried to ask Sierra if they'd let him make the Larry games available through his own website, but Sierra has said no.
2) If this site accepted abandonware, for example by allowing links to abandonware websites, it would be sued.
