>>>If you charge for it, then you stand to lose not only the product, but
they can sue you for lost income, and the income you've gained. By proving that
the product is still saleable, you've proven to the court that by people buying
your product, the company has lost money that they could have otherwise made if
they decided to remake the game themselves sometime in the future.<<<
So some company used to make some product they no longer do and haven't done so for a long period. Somebody remakes this product and sells it. The company has lost money.
From a logic perspective this argument is flawed, but then maybe judges and lawyers never get to study logic.
I'm not saying anything agaisnt the law, I'm just questioning the logic used to justify it.
Of course it could be that the company in question is called ADogInTheManger Inc.
