It’ll never happen, but I think codifying a concept similar to “abandonware” in law would be a huge step forward. If a person can’t buy or rent a piece of media, then it should be able to be freely shared.
Maybe add a short time-out period in case there are momentary hiccups with a creator.
Make it apply not just to videogames, but books, movies, music, etc.
After all, if you can’t buy it, you’re not depriving the creator of revenue.
Actually, looking back at what I wrote, I think maybe I’m just describing the Copyright system as it was originally envisioned before times were extended to such ridiculous lengths. Whoops.
