Romtos 01-01-07, 05:47 PM	Doesn't that depend on the country you're in? ;)

I think, as long as you can prove that you purchased the orginals, its ok. However, if I were you, I would not take the slightest risk and not make computer copies.
Seeker95 01-01-07, 07:59 PM	Read the inside cover of your book. "Any reproduction or unauthorized use..." Making a copy of your own book is a reproduction. Howver, if you want a definitive answer, check with an attorney.
Edymnion 01-01-07, 08:07 PM	Yup, its illegal. Reproducing the book is specifically forbidden, its written right there in the first couple of pages.
crimsonwolf 01-02-07, 01:23 AM	but that desont make sesne you can archive video games and movies and stuff... but not books?
