Lifetime = console maker lifetime. What happens when a console maker is bankrupt?

In a sane universe, the law would be arranged such that when the rightsholding entity for a piece of media no longer exists and/or is no longer distributing it, copying and redistribution of it for personal and private use (i.e. what the industries have conditioned us to believe is "piracy") would be legal. Anything out of print, so to speak, should be fair game. Notably this is already how it works with things like trademarks. If a company doesn't actually exercise their ownership of them, they lose them.

This is more or less the basis of the abandonware movement, the current legality of the situation be damned.

Corpos: "Hey, you can't copy that. We own it! If you just copy it, we won't be able to profit from it!!!"

Okay, so sell me one.

Also corpos: "No."

I'm imagining an actually good piece of legislation that requires companies to provide access beyond the lifetime of their platform. Lifetime in this instance refers to the consumer

1. Nope, you should be able to play the game on the replacement console, and any future models.

2. They aren't likely to do that, these are massive companies.

1. Is a completely different question that has absolutely zero to do with disc based games, and the answer to that question is readily available in the form of Right To Repair legislation.

I take it that if I paid for something I can pirate it. I wont pay for GTA again on PC if I paid on console. If I own a dvd I can pirate it.

I also pirate shit I dont have because fuck all those people anyway
