What changed is time. A clone of the NES lockout chip has been made now, 40 years after the NES. Nobody will enforce that because it didn't exist 40 years ago and Nintendo doesn't make money on NES games now, so they don't lose money on NES game piracy. The lockout chip worked, and its job was finished long ago. |

A lot more activity, actually, because DVDs were state of the art then and today a 480p rip looks terrible on modern TVs even with upscaling.
Ripping commercial DVDs in 2026 is weird, unless it’s some out of print media that can’t be streamed in 4k from countless sites.
The Mist DVD for example has a special B&W version I’ve been dying to find in a second hand store. The DVD extras are pretty much the only reason I would bother, personally.
