100% legal everywhere in the world, under all circumstances? That’s a very, very bold claim.

And not true - for example, format shifting in the UK is illegal. You can't legally rip a CD, DVD or Bluray here, let alone a console game.

Would be interesting to see a reference for that. I’ve never heard of anyone being pursued for ripping or format-shifting.

Prosecutions are basically unheard of, but it’s not legal nonetheless.
