    Highly agree with the first point, companies should not be able to hold exclusive rights to any product they no longer provide support for.

    Abandonware and unsold products are one of the few cases in which I consider piracy ethical

      Publishers and film makers too. Keep it in print or lose rights (though I’d rather have much shorter copyright periods). Changed products get their own copyright, but the old version falls out if you stop selling it.
