disk image server

I've never been fully clear on whether there is a "fair use" law regarding software (think that's what it was called) that allowed for a personal backup /copy for personal use. I've heard folks use it as their excuse on media like tapes, vhs and the argument about dvd encryption. -----Original Message----- From: Richard <legalize at xmission.com> Sender: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.orgDate: Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:06:49 To: cctalk<cctalk at classiccmp.org> Reply-To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Subject: Re: disk image server This raises an interesting question.... aside from popular freeware and open source repositories, are there *any* disk images that are legal? At best what I've observed is that they might live in a qausi-legal grey area. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!
