No need to get personal, 4ORE5iGHT, I wasn't trying to be holier than thou. In fact, you misunderstood me. I'm not saying most software companies aren't acting greedily and only care about making money from their games. But that doesn't change anything about the fact that it's their right to do so and the law is clearly on their side. And if they choose to hold on to the rights while at the same time making it as hard as possible for people to get and play those games, it may seem outrageously unfair to us, but that still doesn't give us the right to obtain and/or distribute those games illegally. The legal situation is pretty clear in that respect; just because few people (if any) are prosecuted for possessing an illegal copy of a computer game, that doesn't necessarily mean the law is "flexible". The excuse that "everybody does it" certainly wouldn't hold as a justification in court.

About the emulator games, I wouldn't know. I've never played any as far as I know. But again, even if a law is completely ludicrous, that doesn't give us the right to break it at will.

On topic again: wasn't it F5 which brought up the save menu in all Lucas Arts games anyway?
