This includes the publisher going bankrupt.
But this is neglect , lets take a TV as an example , if the TV breaks down in its first year you are entitled to a replacement . But for you throw you TV @ the wall they will not replace. The Law states that if its defective they will replace , if however its destroyed by no fault of the media they will not . > No one has said that making a BACKUP for illegal purposes is OK. Noone does do they , I know of people who have a COPY of white lable £4.99 games , and they would proberly get COPYS of anything regardless of how much it cost. They have no technical knowledge and would be able to do this is someone else did not disable the protection. As for my stuff , currently draft letter to OWNERS of the COPYRIGHT to see if this is acceptable , unless there is still some objections Chris Ps. Please EMAIL the list with OBJECTIONS
