07.12.2024 00:53 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Libraries, museums and professionals have limitations. But in most countries individuals have exceptions that allow them to preserve computing history.
We will keep working in the easiest and most exact tools as we can for this purpose.
Today, the U.S. Copyright Office announced that it would not support the needs of libraries and archives to increase access to video game history, leaving over 87% of classic games legally inaccessible through any practical means. While we are disappointed, the fight is not over. See our full statement here.
