Can an online library of classic video games ever be legal?
- JohnFen 3y agoEver? Yes. Copyrights do eventually expire. But, at least in the US, they last for a ridiculously long amount of time. For people, they last for the life of the copyright holder plus 50 years. For companies and anonymous works, they last for 75 years after creation or 100 years after publication, whichever is shorter or determinable. I wouldn't bank on a DMCA exception ever happening, so in the absence of having permission from the copyright holder, such a thing is not likely to be legal within our lifetimes.
