Not that I'm advocating piracy, but what should he do if the game is
no longer in print?  If, hypothetically, the game no longer exists as
a buy-able product, then what choice does he have but to obtain a copy
in other ways?  And given this hypothetical situation, who would get
hurt by the copying?  It's not like the company lost a sale, seeing as
how they don't sell it any more.

Just curious, because I haven't seen a copy of Rogue on a store shelf
for years now.
