They could, but It's very doubtly that they actually pay someone to check web-sites like this to see if they are posting old abondonded software. Also note that there are more Westwood games, like dune 2 and the Lion King on there.
But I wonder, what the complete rules are about this things. I think copyrights on music have a life time of 50 years if not taken action. Not long ago some of Elvis songs lost there copyrights protection because of that. For computer games altough I don't know. Computer games might loose it quicker.
Size doesn't matter.

My god. I had forgotten that some of those existed. There are about 30 games on there that I've looking for since 91. I think i'll take the lot and make a cd or two... God nostalgia is a son of a bitch!

You're right, but did EA actually take over the rights to the C&C's Westwood made before EA bought them? Or are those still Virgin's?

I got C&C 95 with my first computer. However, the link to the full version of C&C 95 has been on about every warez kiddie's website a long time.

Unlikely anything will happen though. EA won't give a damn because they wouldn't lose any profits anyway, and some people couldn't run that if it is for DOS (Unless I am mistaken and it is for Win95)

gbull | sorry for the double post. Does anyone remember how to use DOS?? I forgot how to run C&C.
And is Command Prompt the same as DOS? cuz I cant Find DOS like i did when I had Windows 95 back in the day.
|
Nope the Command Promt is not DOS. Best way is to install and older version of Windows with MSDOS on it such as Windows 95/98.
