I think consumers need more protections than that. A game that's only a few years old might have the servers shut down in order to force players to buy the next version. The proposed exemption would let fans set up their own servers and keep playing the old version immediately.
Right, but I think a patch on an existing law is maybe not enough. We need a thorough re-examination of intellectual property. I'm not holding my breath though; as long as the conversation about IP is driven by big media, rules are only going to get more restrictive, not less.
