It's legal somewhere
hold up, then what is the purpose of Copyright in the first place? Are they arguing copyright no longer serves its original function? To protect the authors work? When was this change made to the law?
-puts on tinfoil hat- Is this why we're suddenly getting so many remasters/remakes?
