MODERATORS
They don't want anything preserved, because if it disappears, it can be "remastered" and resold like a brand new game with zero actual input capital.
And the remastered was a total disaster, Rockstar Games' worst title was the "The Defective Edition" of GTA: The Trilogy.
DMCA is very complicated. Even non-US based institutions had to comply with the law if they want to serve US customers.
