HiPhish: - GOG: But look at all the downloads!
- Publisher: Where's the money? Show me the money!
Yeah, makes perfect sense to me.
rtcvb32: Maybe a sub-site of GoG that is more concentrated on compiling freeware and free games and just making it convenient for the users to download or find them? I wouldn't mind that...
But yeah if you're going to add free titles, they have to be either really good. Although Castle of the winds is good in my opinion, it probably wouldn't make the cut and would take up more space than needed, especially with the slow shelf/javascript configuring the site currently uses.
DCT: unless the copyright has expired
rtcvb32: Copyright no longer expires in the US. Lifetime+70 years is way too long; And it's likely Disney will push to extend it another 20 years when Micky Mouse is threatened to once again go into the public domain again in about 2018... see
wiki I know, hence why I said people/companies exploiting loopholes and the like, since Copyright was originally conceived to protect the creators but now you have companies who buy up the rights and sit on them or use them for whatever. Basically it's a mess and needs to be re-written of course even if that should happen it would only be a matter of time before some lawyer finds some new loophole to exploit. Which means the law should be re-worked every few years to prevent it from being exploited. Sadly not enough people push for it and let all the wrong people keep it the way it is.
Sure it wont happen overnight but so long as people hang in their change should come.
