- When you sell your originals you are legally obligated to destroy the
- backup copies or include them with the originals at the time of sale. By
- not doing so, your backups became pirate copies at the time of sale.
- There is no grey area here, legally.
-
- I suggest you buy Lost Treasures of Infocom if you'd really like to
- play Lurking Horror. LTOI is a great value anyway, and will provide you
- with hours of enjoyment.
