There are now presumably a number of disks archived in

It has convinced me even more that the only tools I will use to archive
disks are open-source ones, because that's the only way I can be sure
that the author won't throw a hissy fit for whatever reason and make the
archives useless.
But could they be legally read in the first place? It seems with all
this talk of copywright
only using the OS supplied by the disk's in the first place is it legal.
I think the best way to
archive the disks of any format is to keep the orginal hardware and
media working.
