What i meant was that though i do download abandonware i don't just go, "Hey! Doom III was kind of fun. I think i'll just go and pay 5 dollars and get it burnt to disk".

Yeah, but
Doom III is most certainly
not abandonware. That's out-and-out piracy. The key is that "abandonware" has never really been defined. Is it piracy or isn't it? So, the
Doom III analogy doesn't quite work, but I know what you're saying.

But some games, they were around in 1989 and nobody longer wishes to know about it and the copyright stopped back in 2000 and i really REALLY want to play it and after about 1 month of searching a i can't legally buy it, i'll download it. I ain't no pirate just because of that am i?

That's the debate. I don't see how anyone can be considered as such. Obviously, others do.
