To be a little more clear, we did talk about it, and the consensus was that JAZZ.EXE (well, really FILE0001.EXE, since JAZZ.EXE is nothing more than a launcher that sometimes runs SETUP.EXE instead) and the like are not sufficient for the download to count as piracy. To the best of my knowledge, there is no difference between the FILE0001.EXE files in the JJ1 shareware and the (non-CD) registered version. What you are paying for is the extra content. Since SWAG does not include any of the original JJ1 levels or tilesets (in unmodified form), and the music files are available elsewhere, downloading it doesn't really get you substantially closer to having the full version of JJ1 than you were before.

(Also, I find it's easier to figure out how to download something from ModDB than from J2O, since ModDB has a big red DOWNLOAD button and J2O has one text field among many. So I wasn't in much of a hurry to get this done.)

But it's on J2O now.
