Just to have it said before we go all yippee, FREE GAMES FOR EVERYONE: I don't read into this that cracking obsolete software is now all ok. #5 mentions dongles, and the legality of cracking dongle protected software "when the dongles become obsolete or are no longer being manufactured". It doesn't mention software _not_ protected by dongles, such as 100% of the games on AB.

Not sure either if "4. Circumventing video game encryption (DRM) for the purposes of legitimate security testing or investigation" opens the door for full on cracking of games for cheaper access to home entertainment.

Ok, enough of the cold shower.
