a lawyer who tries to f***k you up only needs to save a copy of the site containing a link, even its just on for a few minutes, so you will never be safe until you change your imprint. its quite common, i really wonder why you take the risk running a forum without it. alternatively, you can check the imprints of other german websites. you can find sample imprints provided by several german lawyers online, just google it. however, your imprint doesn't state that, so i suggest you fix that as soon as possible. no publisher will ever declare any product freeware because its additional effort and doesnt contribute anything to their business - so if you want to wait for that, we all might die in the mean time.Īnyway, german law allows you to have links to sites who even link to illegal content (although its not the case here) as long as you provide a proper imprint stating that you are not responsible for the content of sites you link to. the DO copyright expired 2007 but i wouldnt bet my ass on it. the site i posted a link to is french and therefore EU law applies to it, don't you sometimes wonder why other sites in europe offer whole downloads of abandonware? it costs money to extend a copyright, i dont think they spend a dime on it anymore. this is business, copyright is not even the point. they will not and cannot sue anyone who obtains a copy of that game now because its simply not worth it. Not supporting it means that the costs of maintaining support are higher than expected sales would recoup, so they just dropped it. I happen to be an ex game designer dealing with EA and guess what, i did ask one of their producers (coincidentally a german guy) to supply me a copy BUT they don't support it anymore so he kindly rejected.
