I'm sorry to say it, but abandonware is illegal. You can read <a href='http://www.gamespot.com/gamespot/features/pc/abandonware/' target='_blank'>this</a> for more information, but it's a bit long.
As for the forums... well, it's their forums. Not like we pay for the bandwidth.

Meh... I'd be up for a game, if I can find my old SS2 CD. It's in my CD-rack somewhere, untouched for a long while as it scares the living hell out of me.
And though abandonware isn't *technically* legal, there's no one left to really follow up and prosecute. Problem being, LG was owned by (IIRC) Dynamix, who inherited all their projects.. including the Thief series, and SS/SS2. So it is not legally abandonware, as there is someone out there with a legal claim to it still, who has not moved it into the realm of public domain.
Well thats great, this thread is completely messed up. Could have at least kept the main points of the posts, and just taken out the offending elements.
At least someone out there is happy. The cool kids can't play here.

Eh. Technically its not legal, but you can't buy it from them. They lose no profits... So. tell me why it shouldn't be free. If its abandoned, then I think its fine. I say meh to the illegality of it.
I missed the fun.... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
