It could well be something for the charities to become interested in.
They could contact the copyright holders where possible and end up
receiving donations to benefit sick children in Africa. I'd willingly
donate a sum of money to acquire certain old software legally and I
expect very many others would do as well.
I purchased an obsolete version of Videosoft's Elastic used from a fellow in
Australia, who wanted all the money to go to Shark Tank Research (for cystic
fibrosis), so paid by way of a contribution to them. We both felt good, and
I go (at least somewhat legally) the old, obsolete software.
Ah, yes! Videosoft's products were the ones we used extensively at the
company I worked for up until 2001. Videosoft was a good company and
produced some really nice and well-documented tools. More than once I
discovered a bug, emailed support and got a fix by email the next day.
Alternatively, if it wasn't an actual bug but due to the way I was
using the control, they explained in detail how to work around the
problem. The FAQ was good, too, as I recall.
