If you copied pac man and gave it away, they can still sue you and sometimes
they do.  There are various precedents in the copyright laws where people
were fined substantial (c 10,000 dollar) amounts for photocopying literary
works and posting the copies on bulletin boards.  (Watch out Dave Berry
posters...)  I am not sure just what has happened in the software world yet.
