Um, then what about something like Nintendo re-releasing its NES games... sorry, it's not that simple. Yes, current copyright rules are far too long and unfair, and it's also not fair that any game a company decides to discontinue, like most all old titles, often cannot easily be legally gotten. But that's how it is. And I wouldn't expect any changes in copyright law anytime soon, that's for sure... Just be happy for the companies that DO still sell some old games.
