Titolo: [ABA] Fuckin' idiots!!

E anche Home of the Underdogs e' caduto sotto il colpi della ISDA!!
Questo e' quello che compare sulla loro home page... E io che volvo
mettere a disposizione i miei 700 e passa giochi abandonware!!
Just received a grim letter from ISDA Anti-Piracy
department, addressed to our domain registrar
Register.com. ALL downloads except freeware
games have been taken offline as a result. 
 
Please bookmark the forum for now-- IF our domain is
truly taken down (even after the removal of all
copyrighted material), the forum will still remain up for
discussions of further progress. We consider ourselves
gaming historians first and foremost, and so we'll do our
best to keep up the site, even if it had to be turned into
a freeware / gaming information site similar to
MobyGames (which won't be such a bad idea, actually,
since that means we'll be 100% legal and can fully and
actively promote the site as the central gathering for
oldies lovers of all ages, and NOW we can also actively
pursue many initiatives we always planned, such as
"free the code" campaigns-- more details later!) 
We thank you for your support of this site, and look
forward to a significant transformation from an
"abandonware" place into a 100% legitimate site. If you
would like to voice support and/or opinions on the
ISDA's decision, please e-mail the ISDA's anti-piracy
department. We really think this site is too valuable for
the old games community to die, and we hope you feel
the same way :)

E che cazz... pensavo che l'avessero smessa per un po'. Ma quegli idioti
non si stancano mai?
Risposta: no, non si stancano mai, perche` sono troppo idioti per
accorgersene.
Almeno mi auguro qualcuno ne abbia fatto un mirror... Tu, Tremal? Lo
mettiamo sempre "da parte" per il prox raduno/Futurshow? :)

Un mirror di Underdogs era una cosa abbastanza difficile da fare, viste
tutte le contromisure antileeching che avevano messo... Ci dovremo
affidare a qualche altro server.

   All the download links are back up, except for titles published by the
IDSA members (303 games). Please bookmark 
underdogs.cjb.net
 and our forum
in case our domain goes down.  
   Recent changes on the site are in response to the e-mail IDSA sent to
our domain registrar on November 1, 2000. Please be aware that this is our
OWN initiative-- we have yet to hear back from the IDSA on whether they
still intend to shut down the whole site. We believe that we are complying
with the IDSA's wishes without compromising our principles. If you feel our
judgment to be in error, please contact us, especially if you know of any
other games that we should NOT allow downloads (i.e. that IDSA members do
hold copyrights to, despite not being the original publisher), or those to
which the IDSA members no longer have copyrights. Also, if you are a
non-IDSA member and would like us to take the downloads down, please inform
us. We will take action immediately. 
   We will be launching "free the games" campaign for all IDSA members, to
request that their old titles be made public domain or sold again. In the
meantime, please contact each member directly if you would like to acquire
their games that you see honored on this site. If you would like to comment
on the IDSA's decision, please e-mail the IDSA's anti-piracy department.
Thank you again for your support!

Non credo di dover aggiungere altro, si commenta da sola, e non posso che
essere totalmente d'accordo con quanto dicono e fanno.
P.S. quindi ora volendo il mirror lo puoi fare (tranne che per quei 303
giochi ovviamente ^_^)... :P

giochi ovviamente ^_^)... :P
303 giochi che forse possiedo gi', tra parentesi! :) Comunque mi sono
messo al lavoro!
