Nah - it's being sold for profit; this is the kind of thing that David Braben would get stroppy about. Also, Bob said: >> > Full versions of the Amstrad game were purchased on the open market. >> > The discs (3 inch) or tapes were then scrapped and replaced with SAM >> > discs.

This is actually illegal; the purchaser of the SAM version must own the Amstrad version - that is, they must receive the magnetic media on which the game was originally distributed - for the license to use the software to be assigned to them. Destroying the media just means that you can distribute it as if it fell off the back of a lorry.
