  You should read @GameHistoryOrg's full statement, but I just want to highlight that one of the most significant causes of video game piracy of commercially unavailable games is the ESA's fear of piracy of commercially unavailable games. [image]

  The ESA quote “there would be a significant risk that preserved video games would be used for recreational purposes” is absolutely insane thing to say. Love to talk about NES games like they're restricted narcotics. Very normal industry. https://www.gamesradar.com/...

  I'm always thinking about that Charles Stross quote about how corporations have remodeled our world into one that exists to serve non-human entities with non-human goals

  I'm proud of the work we and the orgs we partnered with did to try and change copyright law. We really gave it our all, I can't see what else we could have done. This fails the needs of citizens in favor of a weak sauce argument from the industry, and it's really disappointing.
