While as true as your statements may be, I think all of us will probably agree on statements 1 and 2. But some of us, like me, may argue on statements 3 and 4. So here's my view:

JJ1 = Freeware = No
JJ1 = Illegal to Distribute = Yes
Downloading Illegal files = Bad = But I might do it anyway
Download JJ1 = Yes
--------------------------
Indeed correct Fl@$h, i've come to the reasons that the game is too old. And, that I or anyone else would have legal cause to have the game, if they owned JJ2. It doesn't matter, if they have JJ2, as in a legally bought version of the game, they are strictly entitled to their copy of JJ1, as stated by the paper inside the box, and on the cover of the box in the corner.
You can take this position, but you can not say that it is morally correct at the same time; what you are doing is illegal, bar none. The paper means you are entitled to a copy from Epic Megagames, not hAcKRAT_63.
