    So what you’re saying is that nobody is allowed to distribute for free what the original copyright holders refuse to sell or allow other people to sell?

    Makes perfect sense 🙄

      That’s unfortunately how that works. That’s why there is a lot of abandonware. Software or games where the original copyright holder no longer exists or doesn’t care. Copyright doesn’t magically disappear.

      It’s a tragedy, but that’s how the law works.
