Re: Give me your thoughts
This all comes down to who did what first. I.e. it is a commercial developer's responsibility to have a crashplan in place for when they legitimately go out of business, and if they vanish off the face of the net like Bavisoft did, then it's a legal grayarea, while not necessarily a moral one. The dawn of centralized distribution centers and subscription/rentware has actually made terms such as we can stop providing/terminate the service at any time without explanation actually enforceable on a technicality alone. However, for perpetual licenses none of that is actually enforceable. So recovering your own license, while it is still a grayarea, is probably ok. Distribution is quite another matter. This will more than likely end up being a discussion that needs to be had in light of Vipgameszone titles being literally rendered unplayable because of the developer vanishing.
