In no jurisdiction, it was the motto behind abandonware movement.

All of laws, this one, IP laws, everything concerning software is far too simplistic.

Tho if you want to dance in the grey zone, universally I think it's worthless for a company to sue you when they can claim no damages. This is why old software piracy sites exist by a shovel. If site owner and hosting doesn't care about cease and desist letters and just routes them to spam, the lawyers sending them know they cannot actually mount a case. Else they have to explain how $0 of projected damages is worth court's time.
