What is a user's right is not necessarily the right of another company.ДЄ working backup of a piece of software they legally boughtДЄ working backup doesn't need to be working on modern hardware. Microsoft must be very cautious to not run afoul of US law.

Maybe not in the EU, but in the US it absolutely can be. The only reason No-CD patches and the like aren't taken down is likely because it is not worth the effort from gaming companies.Д¬ircumventing DRM is not, in fact, illegal. They have no right to circumvent the DRM. They have no copyright claim to release a patched executable.

Microsoft has no capacity to release such patches.

You know what Blizzard did in response to the shutdown? They released a Starcraft patch that made the game a NoCD hard disc install. Microsoft has no obligation to provide support for that software and nor does anyone else. Reinstall Windows 7 and enable the driver, and you can play that game. Microsoft isn't depriving anyone of said functionality. Pirate copies are irrelevant, so why are you discussing it? Rules against the circumvention of DRM do not distinguish between a legitimate and illegitimate copy. They literally can't sell the game on discs like that anymore since it no longer works.Д«ut they could sell the game again without that DRM on something like GOG.ДЄs mentioned, pirated copies are irrelevant since they got around the system literal decades ago.

That is not an argument for circumvention of DRM. Not to mention, all of this is about fairly old games that the game companies no longer make any profit on The were simply able to bypass SafeDisc's detection of virtually mounted discs. Which is really a non-issue since CloneCD and virtual drives have long supported emulating SafeDisc The DRM being dismantled means illegal and legal copies become indistinguishable. The only difference is that illegal copies will now also work. The system as implemented in executable is still enabled.which is the entire problem. The actual underlying system is disabled anyway. Generally speaking, bypassing DRM in such a way is illegal. The checks are being done by the games themselves so you would need to modify the game's executable to properly interface with the new driver.

If it were feasible, some cracker group would have already released such a solution since it effectively cracks a crap ton of games from that era. I mean if Microsoft made sure that SafeDisc requests would just succeed without doing any real checks If the check retrieves some kind of actual data from the disc and then the game itself checks if it matches what they expect, then I guess this can never work. Mind you, there could be technical limitations. (And that's before they made it completely free.) There's no reason why Microsoft couldn't have taken the same route in general when decommissioning the whole system. Completely removing all copy protection in favour of keeping it running. Seems a fair bit more illegal to me to deprive millions of customers of functionality on a game they paid for. As mentioned, pirated copies are irrelevant since they got around the system literal decades ago. So the only people affected by this are people who have bought the game before the SafeDisc shutdown, and people buying original discs second-hand. Not to mention, all of this is about fairly old games that the game companies no longer make any profit on they literally can't sell the game on discs like that anymore since it no longer works.

Which is really a non-issue since CloneCD and virtual drives have long supported emulating SafeDisc, and most pirated copies use NoCD full hard disc install solutions and already circumvented the system. How is that illegal? The actual underlying system is disabled anyway. Uhh, what? I mean if Microsoft made sure that SafeDisc requests would just succeed without doing any real checks, rather than fail.
