Yep, not often I agree with Moogly, but 100% this.

When this kind of thing comes up the absolute worst thing anybody can do is start splashing it over all sorts of forums. It attracts entirely the wrong attention.

Instead, a handful of people who you know might handle things should be made aware of it, and things taken from there.

Nobody made a massive deal over Mortal Race when it showed up for example, and we got it for almost nothing. People posted everywhere about this one, and there's a very high chance of the only known copy ending up in private hands, for a ridiculous price, with no interest getting it emulated.

I've had to ban people on my YouTube channel for spamming similar to it in the past.

This is why whenever I'm buying anything I tend to keep it very quiet. There are enemies of the scene/industry everywhere, even some grant funded ones like the Game 'Preservation' Society, who do everything they can to make sure nobody can access what they get (even when people are interested in licensing said games)
