Oh no not this again, and I said that no LAW can take precedence over someones legal property, which includes software.

The software is owned by the developer/publisher and its their right to let you make a backup or not, not by the say of whatever country's law.

Also if a countries law was paramount and you had the 100% right to make a backup then every protected game out there is breaking the law as you cant simply back it up.

Im sorry Joe, as I said back then you misread your own countries copyright law.

Afterall posession is 9/10ths of the Law.
