Actually I think there is a project at WoS where they actively seek
publishers and developers to get their permission for redistribution.
Certainly some publishers may have come across the site before WoS
found them, but in general I got the impression they are purposely
trying to obtain redistribution rights. Some other sites like Lemon64
have followed, but in lesser coverage so far.

At least you can expect those publishers who strongly denied WoS to
host downloadable games, would deny any other site to do the same. Or
maybe some publishers would rank ZX Spectrum different from e.g. the
BBC Micro? :-D

Best regards
