Copyrighted cd - Can you burn a copy?

**RAR** · April 29th, 2002, 09:43 AM

I wanted to burn a backup copy of my kid's Sims game but when I go to burn a copy it says the cd is copyrighted and then just sits there saying "reading cd" but never does anything. I am using Nero 5. Is it impossible to burn a copyrighted cd?

Yes, my copy of Nero would then ask if I wanted to continue.

CloneCd will do it.

gamecopyworld.com has information on how to make legal backup copies of 'protected' CDs

(softly, softly)

Check out ClonyCD too, it will determine the type of protection and transfer the results to Clone CD, just to stop too many coasters.

I am trying to burn the new nickelback cd and it's copyrighted. When I try to burn it shut my computer off. can I do anything?

Ok... ok...

If you need to make a backup copy of a CD, you can use CloneCD, Nero or Alcohol 120.

Different discs, especially game software have advanced copy-protection. If you are serious about back-up copies upgrade from Nero 5 to Nero 6 or 7.

But I'd certainly try the trial of Alcohol 120.

Hi New dad!

Can you make a back up of your DVDs too?
I tried with Nero and it said i couldn't because it was copyrighted

or maybe I was doing it wrong?

Alchol seems popular for making back up copies of playstation games.

Heh! Thanks. I have Jack's pic up on photopost!

Frankly, I do not know too much about DVD backups. I just broke down and bought a DVDR/W drive last week. Have not touched it yet (besides installing it).

You have to get something like this

Certainly you can find programs, that are no longer being sold, that will make copies of DVDs, also.
