  Title 17, section 108 of the U.S. Code

    That’s just one country, and only covers archiving and privately storing your own media. It also doesn’t technically allow for breaking DRM IIRC, which almost all media now utilises.

      Well yeah, it’s just one country, were you expecting an essay on the Global legality of Archives? You didn’t ask for a specific country, numbnuts.

        Lmao what’s up with the hostility? Can you not just talk like a normal, civilised person?

        You said that it’s blanket legal, in all cases, and that anybody who says otherwise is an idiot. I said that not only is that not the case in the one country you brought up, it also isn’t in others.

        Nobody asked you to list the laws of every country.
