I would love for you to show me a warez site on my listing. We constantly go over our listing to make sure we are only linking to abandonware sites, and we keep a updated list of titles publishers have begun selling again. Over the past year the list has been shrinking overall - I think the only addition has been the game's Interplay now sells in it's Forgotten Realms Archives Silver Edition.
Making money? Ha! We lose money every month, the banner's just there to help us pay for the servers.
You should not find any software title which is still sold or supporter by their authors at my site. We have a list of software that we know is still being sold or supported by their authors

Software you find in bargain bins may not still be sold by their authors. Most likely it's just a companies over stock that they are selling off cheap. Chances of finding that software at my local retailers are not that high (I think Best Buy just throws the older stuff out).
There are MANY sites that call them selfs abandonware sites. But they knowingly offer new game downloads, and game downloads that are still for sale. So they are really not abandonware sites, just usually old warez sites trying to make it look like there's a moral right to what they are doing.
We have and do ask publishers to release old software. However most don't respond, and when I have gotten a response - it's been from a customer care representative saying they would pass it on to their manager.
Profit share? That would be a great idea if we made a profit. Actually running that site with the ad's still brings us deeper in the hole every month. If I were making money off the site (let alone enough to share with software publishers) I would not be working at Cub Foods.
