The U.S. Copyright Office will not expand an exemption to the DMCA rules that would allow for video game preservation in libraries and archives. Since 2021, the Video Game History Foundation (VGHF) has been working with the Software Preservation Network (SPN) to find a way for libraries and archives to remotely share digital access to out-of-print games, which are currently forbidden by Section 1201 of the DMCA. In its own statement, the VGHF said it was “disappointed” by the Office’s decision.
