Internet Archive Gets DMCA Exemption

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the hizt0ry-cr4ckz-and-pa55w0rds dept.

Paul Hickman writes "The Internet Archive has successfully lobbied for a DMCA exemption for the Software Archive. The IA keeps out-of-date programs, games and other random craziness for future programmers to savor. At the rapid pace of software development, this makes sure that we can create a history for us to remember and wonder at the programming of early games."
