I appreciate the sentiment, but this law looks counter-productive if I'm reading it right. This is OBVIOUSLY going to push companies to make games into a subscription service to bypass the law even if they wouldn't have normally:

> (b) This section does not apply to any of the following:

> (1) Any subscription-based service that advertises or offers for sale access to any digital game solely for the duration of the subscription.

This exemption NEEDS to be removed. If a game's official servers are taken down, the community needs to be given the ability to keep running it themselves. Full stop. No exceptions.
