Joe, I agree with you and I would never download these titles from
Asimov.  No matter how good the Asimov argument sounds, it falls
flat when someone is still selling a good quantity of the software.

Heres the problem -- what can anyone do to stop Asimov?  I agree
that they should be stopped from at least these titles, but how?

Have you tried filing a complaint with the authorities?  I know that
when GeoFax was found on a site in the Commodore world, there
were legal threats backed up by willing action and the software
was ultimately withdrawn...
