You are quite right about IP and how it relates to abandonware, but it’s also not a black and white thing. Technically, a lot of stuff on this very site violates Activision’s copyrights. The scans of game boxes, logos, manuals, magazines…Basically, anything that has a copyright by Sierra On-Line is owned by Activision. What is the distinction between that and a 20 year old game that was swept under the rug soon after release?
