The blog post is a bit of an incoherent mess.

The key point should be to make it legal to use and reverse-engineer abandonware (e.g. games that the developer or publisher has abandoned).

First we'll need a realistic legal definition for 'abandonware' where the abandonware's IP is automatically going into the public domain after a game has been abandondend by the publisher, and the next step must be to legalize 'pirating' and reverse-engineering abandonware.
