Hi,

Quote:It might be fine to make a single backup things you bought for loss preventionYou can, by my logic, make an infinite amount of backups.
Quote:You may not let friends of yours use these backups temporarilyIt's perfectly ok to do that, in my opinion. I see the difficulties in getting the things back in time, but there's nothing that speaks against lending your friend a cd for a short time, when you want to listen to that exact album at the same time.
Quote:You may not gain profit from the usage of your backups by othersWe agree here.
Quote:You may utilize some authorized conversion agency(record store) to obtain a legal conversion from one format to anotherNo. In my perfect illusion, you can convert your commodities whenever you like in whatever format you wish. You don't need to go to a 'conversion agency'-cum-nanny. You also don't buy exactly only the software - you buy the software on one specific medium (mostly the cd for music). And if you find out that you need another medium, that's perfectly right for me. Furthermore don't tell me you think that one should buy one cd for the car, one for your home, one for work and one for your cottage. I don't think so, really.
Greetings, Fragbait
