Just wondering if you can legally make a backup of a CD you have bought, as I like to copy them for the changer in the car and leave the originals in the house.

It's legal in the states http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104-801151.html?legacy=zdnn

Technically, I would say yes . . . no . . . yes . . . er . . . quite A court would probably agree

You are allowed to make a backup copy, by law.

Nothing to say you can't use the backup copy in your car, as long as you have the original should Mr Plod ask to see it !!

Excellent, now it has been established this is not a piracy issue. How the **** do I copy the wonderful "2 many DJ's" for use in the motor. Easy CD doesn't see any audio files on it.
Any ideas on what to use to extract the data?

I will try the felt pen thing if its a Sony disc (not sure)

Cheers

Nice one - would you mind trying the 2 many DJs CD in Nero to see if it can see any files.

Great CD tho - "Suckin on my ******* like you want it" class

Will have a look tonight, i think they should show up as small (1-2k) .cda (CD Audio) files.

f you have ez cd creater there should be another program called CD copier deluxe. Just use that.

**** me - the copier worked - I just assumed the worst when EZ Cd saw no files. Still I learned a lot about CD protection today

druddle

Use Nero or Discjuggler to copy/create CDs. Easy CD Creator is IMHO utter cr@p.

You can find demo versions thru the above sites or on http://download.com

P.S. What a superb CD "2 Many DJs" is !!

Cheers.

Found an excellent article on all this stuff here. Apparently there are 25 types of data protection and 5 CD Audio protection types.
