[QUOTE="moab, post: 503753, member: 73157"] No one has ever been prosecuted (yet?!) for a personal backup of licensed material. Interpretations of the copyright license say that you are licensed to hold the content as opposed the physical media. All prosecutions to date have been for distributing content. None have been for downloading/purchasing/receiving/backup copies. IMHO DVDs and CDs are the biggest rip off as they are easily damaged. Remember the floppy disks - they had a square plastic protective sleeve protecting the circular magnetic media. [Caveat: this does not constitute legal advice on copyright. Please consult a legal professional for copyright issues.;)] [/QUOTE]
