- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoEven without DRM, dumping is still an unauthorized copy. Only format shifting audio recordings is legal in the US without permission.
- zerocrates 6y agoI wouldn't say that's true: fair use applies in some situations beyond what you're describing, for one thing. Plus, there's an explicit statutory carveout for archival/backup copies of computer programs, which would apply to games.
