Videogame Publishers: No Preserving Abandoned Games, Even for Museums and Archives, Because All "Hacking" is Illegal

So thats the end of AA...?
-
It was predictable.
-
no, aa is not done by a game producer. only if they would say to stop, i guess it would be the end of it.
another thing is to host that all not at the united states of america - as so many others do.
so dont be scared - and play a bit aapg, then all is good. i guess it could be a problem when no one would play aapg and all would play aa2 :)
but this is (not yet) the case :)

You are very wrong in lots of aspects there. But I save time not respond so i can go outside in the sunny day and play some football with my friends.

lucky you - i have to work, like every weekday. enjoy
-
and no, i am not wrong.
aa2 was never sold, never. its a game for free, also the versions 3 and 4.
if this would change, then maybe yes.
but all is for free. so forget that.

You are misreading the article, Digital Millennium Copyright Act has been around since 1998.
The article I linked to is good news, www.eff.org (http://www.eff.org) is trying to add an exception for games that has been abandoned by the developers.

Well the article were speaking about both things so i didn't know what direction the article went to be honest but thanks for clearing it.

I got the reverse idea by only reading the title as well.
However, I'm afraid it probably won't change anything anyway.

yes, thanks for clearing it.

About AA2, we havent received a single letter in almost 5 years, its US ARMY game, so its all ok.
-
People should go read the article. Their concerns are piracy and grabbing as much market share as they can. These don't really present a problem for us because the game was free to begin with and while we don't have explicit permission, we're not turning a paid game into a free game which would be an entirely different battle legally. As far as the market share, I don't think the AA team cares. It's not like we have a vastly larger playerbase than AA:PG, we're not stealing players either. If anything, we're keeping people interested in the AA franchise.
As ELiZ said, the point of this post and that article is that the EFF is essentially fighting for our rights to continue doing this.
