#1 they fit me very well, i just said they not clear, and so i had the feeling this board is WAY les strict then they owners actually attended
#2 your wrong, you DO NOT need permission, with is the same law in all strict countries

in fact EVEN if the digital medias T&C states that your not allowed to make a backup you are by law, the global copyright laws are above the T&C, there are several precedence cases like that you can read up on (just search)
as the other guy above also stated the license is extended to your backup
I add to this that so long as you hold the license the backup is still covered even if the original media or data is lost
what is confusing to some guys: IF you PAY for a pirated/illegal “backup” copy then even if you own a license you commit a crime
plus I do have practical experience in the matter, as might you noticed I’m no brave citizen ; )
I might like to add that
#1 and #2 are not connected topics !!! one has nothing to do with the other
