    Is the original version even in print anymore? It’s really hard to believe that the “juice” of getting this taken down would be worth the squeeze.

      It reminds of those stupid calculations that the music industry did back in the old days of Napster and other P2P sharing about how much money they lose.

      When in actuality, I suspect that an actuary or accountant can estimate that this open sourcing of a 20+ year old game probably brings in new revenue in terms of consumers being interested in the franchise.

        Oh boy, I remember they once claimed losses that were equivalent to 3 times the global GNP.

        The copyright mafia has absolutely no shame.
