Dadiast, When it comes to games.... I agree the big names are trying to squeeze the last penny out of their copyrights..(No shock there) but I’ve found plenty of Amiga and Spectrum games where the copyright has been surrendered (all the good games, I can remember at least) Most first generation home computer companies seem to have put their software into the public domain category (apart from Ultimate "play the game"....those B'stards....lol) I’ve attached a couple of links J.I.C. although I’m sure you already know about them!
Amiga
Spectrum
Thousands of games All copyright free

...Hope it helps!
Mame Arcade Roms on the other hand!!!...
