Like 6 people on this whole forum actually care about the "morality" or whatever behind giving jj2 away for free. That's different from being against distributing it on jazz2online by the way, because the people who run this site wish to obey the terms of service of their host. None of them care if you host it somewhere that's not their webspace. If some random jerk (not nessicarally even from epic) complained to the host, they could potentially cause a lot of trouble.

As for the whole idea of people buying copies of the game being a way to make epic start producing it again or a sequel, that's just foolishness. The game is effectively "out of print", with the only copies left being owned by a few online retailers. Even if they somehow ran out of stock and had to place an order for more copies, they wouldn't get them. It's simply not possible to create enough demand for that to occur, due to the costs associated with re-releasing a game. The best thing to do would just be to lobby epic for the release of the jj2 source code. That's what other game communities usually do, and it sometimes works.

I'd agree with Crono but he's ranting about a "problem" that doesn't even exist for the most part.
