And, yes, dede is right: in most countries and for most games, you have the right to make a backup, to protect your investment (whether 10 cents or 50 dollars, it doesn't matter). If you don't understand this, I wonder why you're using GCW or FileForums... |
no, you get it wrong. i didn't say that "why do you people using no-cd cracks & back up your originals??"
i said that "why do you people prefer to unplug your cables for playing your game with a copy instead of using your original??"
my main questioning is why bother so much to play 4 or 5 SF protected game? for evading from the risk of scratches? if the materials of computers -such as discs- are so sensitive it is more risky to unplugging ide cables from your computer. My old PIII 450 has problems on its ide slots on motherboard. Because of rapid ide cable replacements. it recognizes HDs randomly...
i have finished GT Legends from my original instead of waiting on this post (this is the difference).
backing up is an important thing, i know this. by reconsidering that discs have a limited lifetime and take damages even from air, backing up is priceless for a collector, like me. so i can't dare to criticize the back up is legal or not, needed or not. but i think (hope) i explain that i am mentioning about something different than that..
