even if i make a copy its piracy?
but like DAD said...making a back up tho....except fo rmy friend..
and you'd be surprised people can loose their computers....and not the laptops...and if people can loose elephants then people can loose cd's...
According to the law, if you did not get money in return for that copy then it is not piracy.
Civil crimes’ law demands the infliction of damage, which may include a financial damage.
If your friend did buy the game and did have an accident for which the game was damaged or lost and you volunteered to make for him a copy free of charge, then it is not piracy by the law at all.
On the other hand, if both of you and your friend bought a single game splitting the cost, then made a copy so that both of you end up with two games at the price of one game, it is absolutely piracy and damage was inflicted.
If you cut my face with a knife you may have to go to jail, but if a doctor cuts my face with a knife in an operation he might get a reward.
Acts in themselves do not incriminate unless intentions and damage infliction are associated to that act.
That is why it is the job of professional lawyers and law makers to design the law and police to enforce it, not you and me.
Cheers.
