| You know what I really hate? When I make backups of my favourite CDs on
| minidiscs, and then accidentally lose those backups in my friends homes.
| I then have to make more backups and then they got stolen when I leave
| them sitting around.
Ah, yes, the term "backup" used euphemistically for "piracy" :).
Just FYI, the term "backup" is legally defined, just as every other term
used in any form of law. The gist of it is that backups are made and
stored somewhere safe in case the original fails, or is lost or stolen, or
whatever. The MD you make from an audio CD and carry around, leaving the
audio CD at home, is not a backup.
| And what do I hate about this? I don't know who should be prosecuted for
| what.
Assuming the legal pursuit of a copyright infringement case, most probably
you would be prosecuted for illegal duplication and distribution of
copyrighted materials. Generally speaking, this is an unlikely occourance
since copyright infringement proceedings under international copyright law
are civil proceedings and the infringed party cannot collect damages. Your
local laws might (and probably will) vary.
