You forgot the worst of the lot:

Statisticians and beancounters... err "accountants." These seem to think their jobs qualify them to do things they don't know squat about.

So, we can't share them on *here*, even if we did have a copy, somewhere. Huh.

That is correct! Unless you can provide a licence from MS that allows you to distribute it.

You "can" share them virtually anywhere, if you're willing to take the consequences.

However, you *shouldn't* share them anywhere.

Go poke microsoft and ask them to re-release the MW4 free release... they're the ones who hold it in their hands.

Apparently, there's a petition just for that. This will really need more attention if there are people still interested in getting MW4.

Because the thread was created, when there still was a free release from Mektek.

Since it has become known, that it is not allowed to share this release, it is generating a discussion about the legal points and with the petitions posted, even one about how to do something to get it released again.

For these type of questions, please use a PM or the report function. Discussing the moderation is not only off-topic, it is also against the forum rules.
