I always thought of copy protection as being ineffective, disturbing the legitimate owners without stopping piracy in the slightest least. Current games are cracked days after they're released, so that should be no problem after so many years.

On the other hand I wouldn't worry about not being able to play a game once it's no longer supported or its native OS gets obsolete, emulators can be developed in the future just like they've been before, and for PCs virtualization software will expand even further.
