It's now legal to crack DRM on games sometimes
#5
While it is legal to crack the DRM for fair use preservation purposes, it is still illegal to distribute said cracks. That's covered in another section of the law that Librarian of Congress is not allowed to touch. So, yes, you can bypass protections in order to preserve or repair something, but no, you're not allowed to tell anyone else how to do it. That said, you are allowed to use any methods of bypass you learned in order to preserve or repair someone elses covered items on their behalf.

Do know:
PayPal charges me 3-5% per successful transaction. ( 2.99% domestic US, everywhere else it varies - although AU seems to be more like 1.5% )
Stripe charges me 2.9% + $0.30 per successful domestic transaction. More for people paying from outside the US
With the average donation size, Stripe eats up about 30% of the donation. Please only use it if you have to, and if you
do, please consider a larger donation to make up for transaction fees.
