Is there any possibility that such "Abandonware" type software could be hosted on servers in a country where distribution and use was not illegal? Does such a country exist? If so servers could be setup for any dead online game, or any normal abandonware game for free download, if it doesn't violate local laws. Countries would have to decide on their own whether to IP block such a service in another country.

This is something effort should be placed into finding, likely an island nation. If it can "exist" and work out as a host to download abandonware in general and MMO servers in particular, the problem would be basically rectified. The laws you are fighting are USA laws. Host this stuff elsewhere. Despite what a lot of commenters online often seem to think, "the internet" isn't America (or the EU, etc.)
