I'd add better handling of copy-protected titles as well. If a game wants the benefit of copyright, they need to make a version of it without DRM available in escrow (held by some entity like the Library of Congress) for when the copyright expires.
One of the big issues with DRM is that it's not legal in the US to break the digital lock even if the work is in the public domain, so that needs to be accounted for as well.

My understanding is that the Library of Congress has the authority to designate situations in which it is legal to remove DRM on electronic copies of books you have purchased, such as to run it through a TTS program for those that are visually impaired. Does this not apply to other art mediums?
People can just break the law though
…then the law has no respect, which is a problem.
Not a respectful law.
Bad laws passed by the elite to the elite for the benefit of the elite is the real problem. Why should I respect that?
Just because it's a law?! That's the poor flimsy justification?
