Well, only if you consider copying and distributing copyrighted software
without an owners permission to be illegal...Hm, I think I already know
how you stand on that issue.  Let me clarify something here though...
I would be in favor of a site that could carry "orphanware" IF it was
documented that the owner(s) of the copyrights had given permission for
that software to be posted to that site.
