The spirit of the law WAS NOT VIOLATED.

That is not actually the case. Here it is, cut and pasted from the FAQ (bolding and underlining mine).

We do NOT allow discussion or even mention of warez,abandonware, peer-to-peer game swapping, game cracks, illegal download sites, or illegal file-sharing.

As to the other points being raised perhaps this will inform the discussion. Again, directly from the FAQ (bolding and underlining mine)...
