The U.S. Copyright Office denied an exemption from the DMCA to allow gaming historians to access out-of-print games they can’t legally get.

“Most of the world’s video games from close to 50 years of history are effectively, legally dead. A Video Games History Foundation study found you can’t buy nearly 90% of games from before 2010. Preservationists have been looking for ways to allow people to legally access gaming history, but the U.S. Copyright Office dealt them a heavy blow Friday. Feds declared that you or any researcher has no right to access old games under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA.”

    I haven’t seen one in a while either, but looking at images it does indeed appear that there are no region markings on the cars.

      I had a look on the instragrsm account blåljusbilder, and you are right, there isn’t any markings for regions/counties on the cars, it might have been a period when they tried it but realized it wouldn’t work for some reason
