Copy game to hard drive?

But...they are still illegal to own, even if you own the game.

Are you sure? Why would they be legal for sites to upload then?

I seriously think they should be legal if you own the game. I dont think you should have to put in a cd every time you want to play a game, especially if the whole game is installed on the hard drive. Its a lot of trouble, but what they did for windows xp to where you have to do the keycode thing would be a lot better.

Virtual drives are great other than the fact you go though gigabytes very fast.

its not illegal.. *if* you own the game. Thats why sites like

www.gamecopyworld.com
www.gameburnworld.com

still are legal sites

They can also be used by anyone right? Yeah. So game companies obvioulsy dont like that. I guess it is more in the dark grey area than Legal or Illegal.

I see... if you could show that you have your own cd key, and you have the origional copy of the game, then it would be legal.. but it would be kinda hard to prove that wouldnt it?

you dont have to show your cd key

 

[jolancer]

you should legally own the cd-key before doing this

he said that cause hes a moderator, thy prolly wont to try and be 'politcally correct' in there posts.

Whatever.... my point is it would be hard to prove you bought the game.
