Soundbite: Home of the Underdogs founder Sarinee Achavanuntakul on abandonware vs piracy

I'm still a ways off of finishing the next full episode, but here's something to fill the void in the meantime.When I spoke to Home of the Underdogs founder Sarinee Achavanuntakul, we had a long segue into the broken world of copyright and its connections to the abandonware scene in games. I'm not sure how much of it will make it into the main story, but I thought a solid chunk of what she said could stand well on its own — especially in light of recent industry discussions around preservation and digital sales (or re-sales) of games.So here it is, with a fairly substantial intro from me that felt almost like a dress rehearsal for the abandonware discussion I'll have to include in the full episode.If you'd like to contribute your thoughts/memories/insights on the Home of the Underdogs, please record a voice clip (in any audio format) and send it to me at [email protected], DM me @MossRC on Twitter, or upload directly to this drop folder.You can support The Life & Times of Video Games in any of the following ways:subscribe to my Patreonmake a one-time or recurring donation via paypal.me/mossrcbuy my book The Secret History of Mac Gamingpreorder my second book Shareware Heroes: The renegades who redefined gaming at the dawn of the internetor just by sharing your favourite episodes and telling other people about the show
