By making backups, we can enjoy our games far beyond the original discs lifespan permits. Its for this reason we make backups, ONLY to preserve our original discs and the console equipment since they do not last forever. Having the original in ANY shape, broken, scratched, water damages, heat damaged, etc., makes posessing a backup legal. It doesnt matter HOW the original was removed from your ownership, but the fact you no longer have rights to hold a copy of that software does matter. Then there is also "self piracy", the making of a copy of software you purchased, then sold, trashed it or was stolen from you, but kept the copy. Someone selling you or giving you a "copy" is piracy, since you did not have a right to posess one. Its the copying and redistributing of the copy/copies in any form. Piracy is not just downloading from the internet. Its ONLY legal as long as you own the original retail software.


I dont encourage, support or even allow discussions of backups if you do not own the originals. It was designed to allow homebrew applications to run from a standard PS2 Memory Card or connected USB device. Free McBoot was not designed for you to pirate games.
