As your quote by me stated, I never said that abandonware sites claim it is legal. I used the words: Concept. Portrayed. There's a whole lot of ways this can be peddled, but obviously if these sites host the games, they have to give the impression that it is OK to do so.
But I don't even visit abandonware sites anymore. I only end up there when I am following Google links after a search, so it's incidental. Fans harbouring old CGA and EGA games has always been a joke, in my mind since I hated those games then and now.
