abandonware
n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original
publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as
freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive",
so to speak.

A term created by software pirates to describe a game or program that has been "
abandoned" by its creators and is no longer available in stores. Of course, this has no legal standing, and the copyrights were never abandoned, so
downloading abandonware is just as illegal as downloading a
new release.
Example:
"This
game isn't in stores, so it
must be abandonware."

Created by finding the opposite of crack(ed) which is obviously
abandonware & the opposite of up which has
to be down.

I'm all out of weed and there is no where to get anymore =
