12. Abandonware & Fair-use policy

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

'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
