Building a Video Game Collection: Community Q&A

The Software Preservation Network is building momentum and solidarity with several organizations and communities to win an improved exemption in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act for video games. Such an exemption would enable increased preservation and access to video games.

Why is it important to advocate for an expanded exemption? A panel of video game curators, legal researchers and historians will discuss:
How video game collections are built/curated;
How these collections are currently being preserved: what is the current state of preservation and access without the exemption?
What would change if the community had an expanded DMCA exemption and could rely on principles of fair use to provide access to their collections?
