A fine example on how AB will respect re-sales of old games.

Todays released game: Star Control 3
WAS available on AB. Now it will direct you to the GOG Gamecard instead.

h.fat: In some countries anyway, you are allowed to donwload and/or crack if you've bought the stuff.

Red_Avatar: In all of the EU actually. You have the legal right to make a backup of your media - this is why stuff like a Nintendo DS supercard is deemed legal, because it can be used to play backed up games. It's logical since you own a license of a game - the media on which it comes is just the means of delivery. You always keep the license even if your DVD gets scratched for example. Except if you buy a game on Steam, of course, since Valve made it so you own a subscription there instead which gives you far less rights.
Actually no the reason they are allowed is because they allow you to run homebrew the backup ability is why they are in the legal grey area the UK for example has NO law saying you can make a backup of software or of anything else for that matter.
The law here says the purpose of DRM is to prevent unlawful use of copyrighted works and that it's not illegal to crack it if you're not doing anything unlawful.
Furthermore it states not only that it's lawful to backup copyrighted stuff but that no contract can take away this right from users.
