The same thing that happened with all the Denuvo games so far: some hackers remove the DRM.

That would be possibly illegal, requires someone highly specialized to care about each and every one of your games, and assumes there won’t be a crackdown on the openness and anonymity of the Internet that currently allows the distribution of pirate software.

We need to have this right codified into law before we lose it.

Not just possibly, the DMCA makes it a felony to remove or bypass any copy protection measure, even if it doesn't work very well.

		Not every jurisdiction has the DMCA, so that’s why I said possibly. It’s definitely illegal in the US.

Removing DRM is all fun and games until single player titles start requiring constant internet access in the future.

Denuvo requires internet access. It's been cracked anyway.

Do you know about this tool called Ghidra? It makes most programs open source. Not the ones with DRM, though.

		The next step they want to take is not have you use your own hardware at all and just stream it to you, so you don't even have a copy.
