Well I won't put it up, but there is a lot of grey area in the law, plus I have my own issues with them. *Shrugs* your site though. I didn't think it was a big deal, just showing off games that have been out of circulation for a long time. You can all call me by a electronic mafia nick name now if you wish ;)

You what? Are you aware of what this site makes its living selling?

This site has games? Next your going to tell me they are good..and old. I dunno man :P
THese particular games aren't on the site and it wasn't a pirate link, but more of an experiment a guy did. Yet I can understand why the link was removed, but I don't necessarily agree with it. I do hope, like I said before, that gog.com does stock them eventually. Just read up a few posts and you'll see me saying that and declaring my interest in Space Quest.
Kind of surprised this thread isn't locked actually.

is this a gogforum equivalent of "ninja edit"?

Coala is on the gog team and just doing his job ;) Of course there are rumors that Coala is secretly a ninja...

Coala is a "her" btw..

Thanks. No way I could know since it is the first time I've seen Coala ;) Let me edit that to say
"Just doing "her" job." From henceforth until eternity, let it be known that I replaced HIS with HER.
But coala is still a ninja :P

I understand...though I could argue the legality point :D But I won't because, well I like this site for one and I think the people that work for it are doing a heck of a job. As for your gender..all the posts from the staff are in light blue.. and light blue equals boy right? heh. Just kidding.
I'll have to take a look at the photo.

What's GOG's stance on remakes? (I've mentioned and provided links to quite few in the past without interference [King's Quest I-III, Quest for Glory 2, Ultima V:Lazarus, The Ultima 6 Project] etc.).
As for the site, this is one example of extreme copyright laws preventing/hindering innovation, thing they were writen to help. I wish length of copyright protection could be reduced to sane levels so they would usually expire durring inventors lifetime (rather than decades after it) and have use it or lose it clause.
Edit: I just had an innovation/idea anyone is free to exploit for fun or profit (I hereby declare it public domain): Someone should print copyright law on toilet paper and sell it so we could show what we think about it ;) :P (I think I'll offer it to my country's Pirate Party so they can raise funds for elections and activities).

The AGD interactive remakes of King's Quest 1+2, and Quest for Glory 2, are officially allowed by Vivendi, so those are okay. The others... well, I really couldn't say. We all know what EA are like, and they hold the Ultima license.

Any links to where they have stated this?
I know the team working on the unofficial fan sequal KQ IX made an agreement that allows them to continue but they had to drop the KQ name (it's The Silver Lining now).
I also know LucasArts jumped team that remade couple of LucasArts adventure titles and were working few more before receiving Chease & Desist order.

Thanks. I wonder if KQ III remake team has reached similiar agreement...
