People have told me that downloading abandonware is illegal. Is it?

Well actually there's no question about it. It is illegal as long as the copyright hasn't been passed for 50 years. (or was it 75? Hmmm...)
So if you have a game from 1954 you can distribute it freely, otherwise it's copyright infringement towards the legal owner of copyright.
