Devil: I BRING YOU NUMEROUS GREETINGS T-REX
Devil: AND A QUESTION I WISH TO POSE TO YOU
T-Rex: Aw man! What do you want?
Narrator: T-REX AND THE DEVIL STAR IN: "ABANDONWARE ADVENTURES"
Devil: I SIMPLY WISH TO ASCERTAIN YOUR OPINION ON CLASSIC GAMING EMULATION
Devil: THERE ARE OFTEN CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH A GAME'S COMPANY HAS FOLDED BUT THE GAME ITSELF REMAINS POPULAR
Devil: IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES IS IT ETHICAL TO COPY AND EMULATE THE GAME IN QUESTION
T-Rex: T-That's actually a really interesting question!
Utahraptor: Which is, T-Rex?
T-Rex: The question the Devil just asked me about "orphaned" games!
T-Rex: It's actually just a subset of the larger problem of orphaned works still under copyright. How can such works be dealt with when it's impossible or prohibitively expensive to figure out who owns the rights?
Utahraptor: Man, I'll leave you to it! I'm going elsewhere to have an INTERESTING conversation.
T-Rex: But - copyright law as applied to software IS really interesting! Come on!
Devil: I TOO WILL LEAVE FOR I MERELY WISH TO PLAY CLASSIC NES GAMES FOR FREE T-REX
Devil: HOLY MOLEY
