In any case duplication of this sort would surely be 'pirating' and frowned upon here.

The salesman responce is why I have been so reluctant to buy one. As for the piracy statement, I disagree with that simply because it is just another form to backup your already owned original. I believe as long as the privilege is still legal (depending where you live) to backup cd/dvd you own, there is nothing wrong with the method you use in which to do so. I also believe that if backing up an original was that easy to just buy one of these standalone easy methods, everyone here would already have one. This is why I said to post the reviews. Its good to keep an open mind but its even better to use that same mind openly. I make decisions based on facts vs theory. In theory this would be an awesome development, however there are not enough facts to support a decision to buy one at this point.

I must strongly disagree here!
One copy may be legal BUT to use a device with a 100 Discs Capacity is an absolutely ludicrous tool if you intend to keep to the ONE LEGAL copy rule.

A tool such as this, discussed in these forums, can only be regarded as an adjunct to out-and-out piracy.

In any case we all know that these things have buckley's chance of copying anything that is protected.

Precisely my point! No need to worry there m8. I strongly agree with all of these piracy concerns but it is the responsiblity of the end user and at their own risk to indulge in such matters. If the laws are not abused then the method used does not matter. 100 copies at once is indeed piracy if it is copyrighted material. I dont disagree there at all. See the reason I have not bothered to buy one is cause I dont believe it would work for backing up a protected original. I was thinking of one that does 1 : 1 with the ease of one button. No company would allow this type of recorder to hit the market. Indeed piracy would then be imposible to control. It was an area of interest only cause such a device would be whole lot simpler than the current methods used.
