US allows museums to preserve online games
In a rare occurence of sanity, the goverment of the United States of America has decided to stand by a DMCA exemption for online games. This way museums are able to preserve online games. A tricky business which includes loads of client & server code. The latter is most of the times only available to the developer. Which in course makes some games completely unplayable.
