Summary:
- The U.S. Copyright Office has ruled that libraries and archives cannot provide remote access to old video games due to concerns over market harm and the risk of recreational use.
- This ruling effectively prevents libraries from preserving and providing access to older video game titles, as they are no longer commercially available.
- The decision is seen as a setback for video game preservation efforts, as it limits the ability of libraries and archives to ensure these cultural artifacts remain accessible to the public.
