Virtual Apple 2 abandonwarez
Posted in This site has a java/browser-based Apple II emulator and an _incredible_ collection of disk images that you can boot. A little Oregon Trail or Rocky’s Boots or LogoWriter, anyone?
It’s interesting because though this site is almost certainly _technically_ in violation of copyright, these are programs with absolutely no commercial potention and that are no longer being sold or manufactured. In many cases, the companies that originally produced them are out of business. There is very little threat that those running the site will be sued for copyright violation. To me, this brings up an interesting point: that the current indefinite copyright period (every 20 years the industry pumps a few million into lobbyists in order to get Congress to retroactively extend it another 20 years, so at the rate copyright for 20th century works will never expire) is completely out of line with the pace of the software industry.
