“Most of the world’s video games from close to 50 years of history are effectively, legally dead. A Video Games History Foundation study found you can’t buy nearly 90% of games from before 2010. Preservationists have been looking for ways to allow people to legally access gaming history, but the U.S. Copyright Office dealt them a heavy blow Friday. Feds declared that you or any researcher has no right to access old games under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA.”

    I meant as in country laws instead of local laws from municipalities and regions.

    We have federal laws and local laws where I live, but I don’t live in a federation either.

      There are no “local laws” in Sweden that differ between parts of the country, only laws that apply to the entire country.
