Diablo 2 play disk not found

[Occhidiangela]

The Diablo 2 discs are notorious for not working properly.  It usually takes me 3 tries or more whenever I need to reinstall D2 (which happened quite frequently a few years ago when I changed OS's a few times and upgraded my hard drive) so making yourself a copy of the discs is actually a pretty good idea  (and is something you are legally entitled to do).  If I remember right though, Blizzard put some sort of copy protection on their discs to prevent you from making duplicates.

That being said, if you can't make the copies yourself, you're out of luck and will just have to buy new ones.

I am not aware of any prohibition from Blizzard for making your own back up if it is strictly to remedy a disc that gets worn out. I may be wrong about that. That strikes me as defensible within a fair use mode.

The problem comes with "pass my copy to a friend." How far down a slippery slope one thinks one should go is, to my way of thinking, easily answered.

Don't.

Backup is a good idea, I lost an HD somewhat unexpectedly, and lost a lot of stories I had written.

Stupid me.
