-  Librarian of Congress has granted several exemptions to copyright which include an interesting one that directly affects videogames:

The Librarian granted part of EFF’s new proposal for an exemption to preserve abandoned video games. The new exemption allows players to modify their copy of a game to eliminate the need for an authentication server after the original server is shut down. Museums, libraries, and archives can go a step further and jailbreak game consoles as needed to get the games working again. Disappointingly, the Librarian limited the exemption to games that can’t be played at all after a server shutdown, excluding games where only the online multiplayer features are lost. Still, this exemption will help keep many classic and beloved video games playable by future generations.

- other exemptions:

ripping DVDs and Blurays for making fair use remixes and analysis; jailbreaking cell phones, tablets, and other portable computing devices to run third party software; and security research and modification and repairs on cars—have each been accepted, subject to some important caveats.

What do you think?

Well, a step in the right direction on all of those things mentioned IMO.

However the TPP took things in the wrong direction on copyright IMO. The TPP agreement has extended the life of copyright to 75 years after the creator of the work dies. In many countries it was 50 years. It seems to me that 50 years after a person dies is plenty long enough for the inheritors of the copyright to gain value from something they had no part in creating. Basically the great grandchildren of such a person would still benefit with 50 years and these people are unlikely to even have been born at the time the work was produced.

There's your answer to true DRM. Not that many games have a true DRM like is described, but now people don't have to worry about what happens when (a very certain set of) games go offline.

Couldn't add more myself. 

Since my english is far from perfect, do this mean, company who make mmo have to make a offline mode before shuting down their last server ?

Thanks for the explanation.

Can't wait to play Phantasy Star Online at a library.

Really interesting to see.. wonder if this will affect anything, probably not much

At least it's something.

Could be the start of some more comprehensive measures.

Hey. The game company that makes the game. Could hand over a sever. So then someone could reverse enginer a offline mode. Or restore the games online mode to a custom setup. That would save shutdowned EA games. And Star Wars Galaxies.
