New exemptions to the anticircumvention provisions of the US DMCA have been
issued. (The Register of Copyrights at the Library of Congress does this every three years.)
HD installers for Amiga games are still exempt. The Amiga even gets a very brief mention in the 198-page
recommendations document!The text of the relevant exemption reads as follows:
"Computer programs and video games distributed in formats that have become obsolete and which require the original media or hardware as a condition of access. A format shall be considered obsolete if the machine or system necessary to render perceptible a work stored in that format is no longer manufactured or is no longer reasonably available in the commercial marketplace."Source:
