Phoenix network holds the view that the nature of certain ‘serviceable’ states of programs (typically existing covered works) under the copyright DMCA and the existing copyright law can be classed or labelled under the ‘Abandonware’ (collectively “the Services”) title which currently has not been presented to the US congress for an additional tabling to the existing copyright definitions. In accordance with the outlined terms above combined with the genuine use of the universal ‘fair-use’ policy and practices in a non-for-profit capacity, ‘Abandonware’ is; a) Program(s) and/or works no longer supported, sold, endorsed or available via the publisher; b) Program(s) and/or works which can no longer be obtained officially via the publisher; c) Program(s) and/or works deemed obsolete/not profitable by a publisher; d) Program(s) and/or works where services or functions of which are terminated by the publisher; e) Program(s) and/or works that have any/all vital online functions or services terminated by the publisher. The following is also true of the ‘Abandonware’ label or classification: i) Abandonware can class or identify program(s) and/or works (collectively “the Service”) where the publisher no longer sees any financial, official, enterprise-related, reputation-based, contract related or developmental reasons to continue any type of vital support for services or functions; ii) The term ‘Abandonware’ is used to describe or identify a program(s) where a publisher has totally and permanently disconnected any availability or support for the program resulting in both customers and potential customers from being able to interface in anyway with the program, both customers with receipts and potential customers of existing products both physical and digital; iii) Abandonware classifications also includes a program(s) and/or works (or a service) in which has been purchased by a customer and is subsequently left with no access to the product without any reasonable or genuine grounds or lack thereof, based on definitions above. According to the definitions of ‘Abandonware’ outlined above, when these conditions are met and are applicable to a service or function(s) of a program and/or covered work, they can incurr or impose; i) a situation that results in customers that have purchased the product unable to interact with the product or consult the publisher about issues, information or regarding refund for termination on disputable grounds; ii) a program state and/or work that is Abandoned by a publisher, this means the publisher no longer sees any use what-so-ever to continue any type of support for the program or vital functions of the service, which in effect fraudulently undercuts existing customers that have purchased the program and customers who would like to purchase existing physical or digital copies of the program; iii) a strong indication that customers and potential customers are forced to either purchase updated/ alternative software or to discontinue using the program and/or work all together without a refund or optional transfers to new platforms on disputable grounds or lack thereof; iv) articles of established legal doctrine related and referring to ‘Abandonware’ including precedents in any recognized judicial system or circuit, including the USA federal court (DMCA) which has granted that Abandonware may be hosted and used without the publishers permission on the basis of updated definitions for copyright exemption of access technologies (2018 page 59- 60 section (1) are met in the environment outlined above which renders the user (collectively “The Individual”) able to host, make-available, use/or access vital features of the program or service due the the Abandoned status of the program in order to restore the product or service to original working functionality without modification Abandonware remains intellectual property of the publisher and so do trademarks and copyright notices, however due to the abandoned nature of the program, access and availability are granted via the DMCA notice. The Program(s) and/or works accessed under these conditions must not advertise, disclaimer, infringe on copyright and trademarks, generate profit directly or indirectly or sabotage the publisher while doing so. Phoenix Network understand that some definitions outlined in this section are currently not registered or officially appended in the current United States DMCA copyright exemption dictionary because no such action or process has yet been undertaken by any entity or individual to form a precedent or official doctrine.
