Hi, i voted for no.

If you see it clearly, then you will recognize that "old games finder" is NOT claiming the files as being their own,
but providing a file searching service, for people who are in need of a game, and they are even stating from which FTP/Site the file belongs !

Part from my own belief, that God made everything shareable, you will understand that limiting the ftp to members only would limit the ressource access,available to the whole.

And who knows, maybe someday, some of the Leecher-only, will still have the file, in case of data loss, and may recover it from damnation.

And do you want to have billions of 0-posts-members registered, who just want to get the files ?

Anyway, the final decision should be to the Ftp owner as he can see If the FTP (counting all the years) is heavily stressed.
