They very well might. Jazz Jackrabbit is their copyright and they have every right to prevent or endorse it's distribution. I don't like it, and you don't need to, but it's the law. If they want to make a JJ2 on Xbox Live Arcade, do you think people will buy it again, or download the "legal because of different laws" version? (This sounds kinda weird, but I'm saying if the laws were different Epic could lose lot's of money.)

NOT TRUE. If you don't have hi-speed, it takes forever to download either. Plus, it's illegal, and some people still have something called a conscience, ya know?

Because we (some) still have morals, and won't throw them away so easily.

Well, I don't play online, but yeah, I probably would.

This is where I thought: "Shut up and do research." 1.25 would make fixes to 1.23 AND 1.24, therefor being an actual different version than 1.24. 1.25 was never meant to be a "free" 1.24. Get your facts straight and then lay this (-) on us.
