    Everyone should know that reproduce/distribute a movie/game is illegal in the global. But recently i saw this on a web site:

    It is illegal to copy or burn a copyrighted game to sell or give to others, which most of you would know, but it is not illegal to make a personal back-up copy for yourself of the game provided you are the original owner of the game.

    I wonder is it legal to copy a back up disc for my own use?
