It may well be better for everyone if this was done, but I strongly
believe that people should have the right to choose to do things that
are not in their best interests, or anyone elses. This is the foundation
of a liberal democracy and capatilist society.  ;-)

Perhaps if someone were to set up a tidy web site with a catalogue of
known Sam games (a picture of the box a breif description, etc.), then
wrote a nice letter to the copyright holders... The distributable games
could have a little note saying "Generously made available by (Author's
name) and the kind people at (...) Software. To have a look at some of
their new work, check out the site: (...)".

BTW... Honestly Johnna, the name of your web site is obscene... No part
of a URL should consist of more than 16 characters.  :-p
