Technical isn't usually a problem, as cracks and emulators already exist.
Legality is a problem in theory, but in practice it seems it is just ignored? Actually, what explanation does the Internet Archive have for any of this being legal?

In fact, I'm still pretty certain they are violating copyright. Copyright sucks, and I applaud them for what they are doing, but I don't see how any of this is legal.
