I'm actually a Microsoft guy, but I loved my Dreamcast. Re: copyright, the exclusion is specific to circumventing copy protection dependent on obsolete dongles. Courts have upheld a software publisher's right to limit transfer of ownership, though, so it's not always legal to buy used software licenses.
