Sorry, but you are just talking. The problem with video game preservation is that the IA isn't able to get the same library exemption that they got from the Library of Congress for archiving. The LoC doesn't yet consider video games an artform that can be preserved in the same way as books and other media.
There are thousands of folks that both want and want to do this work.
- ghaff 2y ago>the same library exemption Reference please? Genuine question. As far as I know, libraries have very little in the way of special privileges outside of some specific rights in the analog realm which don't really apply in digital where first sale doctrine also doesn't apply.

- ghaff 2y agoI see nothing in there giving a carte blanche to libraries, however they care to define themselves, to have any generalized exemption from copyright law.

- phonon 2y agoWhat's with the goalpost moving? Click on "Final Rule"[1] and the PDF goes into copious detail about what exemptions are currently in effect. Obviously there is no, and will never be, "carte blanche to libraries, however they care to define themselves, to have any generalized exemption from copyright law". There are specific, temporary, limited exemptions in effect. [1] https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-10-28/pdf/2024-24563.pdf https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-10-28/pdf/2024-2...
