Cool, I did not know they had that exception from the LoC. The browsing system is still terrible. Sheesh!

Well if they're absolved that cleanly that really throws a wrench into selling old games if this ever got out into the mainstream as common knowledge. I think it would put a dent in GoG and other sites selling old games a bit if you could just snap them up and all the paperwork in PDF format free. It's a hell of a service that's for sure.

Well, companies can still file take-down requests with the Internet Archive, but it is pretty much up to the Archive to act on them or not. Usually, if something is somehow still being sold in a digital or analog form where the rights holder benefits (A.K.A. not the second-hand market), the IA will play nice and remove the content from their site. But unlike most people and groups, instead of having to take an "everything is bad until we get approval for it from a developer or publisher" approach, they get to take an "everything is good until we get a request to remove it from a developer or publisher and we decide to comply" approach.
