The US Copyright Office has denied a request to allow remote access to out-of-print video games, a decision that impacts video game preservation efforts.
It’s really important to keep offline archives of video games, so that despite this bullshit, there are still copies to circulate.
Yeah, but the problem is that it is now the only medium singled out from remote access, you can remotely rent books and movies.
Right, but I’m just saying the archival must continue regardless.
Oh well, I guess Ill change nothing about what I do
Your strongly worded letter has been noted.
