I've noticed when looking for some Elite videogames at SC, their files are not available for download (TAP, TZX and/or DSK) but in every entry is still marked "Available" on their corresponding profile (i.e.: Bomb Jack, Bomb Jack II, Buggy Boy, Chain Reaction and Kokotoni Wilf)
I'm changing their availability tag into denied distribution, as I believe that's the actual situation of them. Confirm me if it's right.

The tag "distribution denied" refers to titles that were explicitly denied, i.e we had an explicit request from the property owner to deny distribution.
There are other cases were we have reason to assume distribution wouldn't be allowed but we were unable to get a confirmation. Or if the owner asked to just postpone distribution while there's a physical version for sale. In these cases, distribution is suspended but they shouldn't be marked as "distribution denied".
