Unless Activision has sold her the rights, she's committing a crime. Whether or not Activision will bother taking action is something else entirely, but that doesn't negate the fact it's illegal for her to put those games on her website.
I can't believe you're patting her on the back for illegally hosting intellectual property. I suppose you're in-favor of "abandonware" as well then, huh?
