if u read into the DCMA, you will see that when a consumer purchases software, the purchaser is allowed to make 1 backup copy of their purchase.u are not allowed to make 2 copies, just one. many software providers dont incorporate anti piracy into their software for this reason, but all of the games we buy do. this is in fact not legal under the DCMA because it prevents u from making a backup of the software. look it up. u wont believe what these companies really get away with when it comes to these laws(DCMA).so if a legal battle does arise for any of these vendors, there is the argument. there is NO means of making a backup of your games until the actual unit is modified to do so. M$ doesnt offer any solution either so as a consumer, we are entitled to access to the tools for backing up our software. 1 scratch on a disc can ruin a $50 investment. when u get 30 + games under ur belt, and add it up ($1500), u bet ur ass im gonna back it up so 50 years from now ill still have my investment. as good as the day i bought it. we, as consumers, have this legal right under the DCMA!!!!!!!!!!! the legal system cant prosicute one part of the law that contradicts the other.
