Nothing illegal about smoking it ... but you can't smoke it if you don't have it, and if you have it, therefore you possess it, which is illegal.SniperRH said:wait a sec...... so smokin weed aint illegal?
Just because the disk says "Dont make illegal copies of this disk" doesn't mean making a copy is illegal. gun could say "Dont shoot someone in the head" and if some crazy ass mofo was running at me with a knife, I'd sure as hell shoot him in the head without thinking. It's a scare tactis microsoft uses - They know some people will think it means copying disks is illegal - Which... it's technically not.
Backing up a DVD movie = not illegal also. Decrypting it, making DivX and stuff out of it... thats something else, but popping it into a DVD-R... clicking make copy, thats perfectly legal. If you own something... it's legal. And even if it isnt... theres a 99.99999 chance you wont ever get in trouble, even if bill gates shows up at your house and sees you with a copy.
Copying games... illegally, or whatever... you're most likely not going to get caught. It's 1 in a gazillion chance... unless you start downloading games from places like bittorent, and microsoft decides to go after it. If your just renting games and copying them, trading with friends, or getting them off usenet (none of which we promote) Then you will most likelly never hear from no one about it... in order for them to find out, they have to access your xbox... in order for that to happen, they have to have proof... in order for that to happen... they have to be tracking down some pretty stupid people. Backups are legal - There is no proof you dont own a copy of the game... That is why MPAA and IRAA do not go after downloaders... they only go after uploads. It'd be alot harder for them to get people who download movies... and prove they dont own a copy of the movie... infact, it'd be almost impossible. It's sharing... not downloading, which is bad. Well... illegal, of course copyright infidgment is bad

Well i have a question...im backing up games i have. THis is what i dont understand...i have a 1.6 xbox, x3 mod chip, and runing x3cl I use Flashfxp to ftp my files over to my pc. I have a hp duel layer dvd burner. I have read that you dont need to create an iso file. Simply patch all xbe files and burn the game to a dvd..i am using Record Now to burn my dvds. it boots up fine on the xbox however i play for a while and then get a error that the disk may be dirty or corrupted. I am not quite sure why i get this error..my date and time are set on the xbox.. i went thru and removed all the xbe files i could find , i did not make an iso file..is that my problem.. one post stated that you needed to post the iso file and the orginal files you backed up on the dvd.. when i tried to do that it took up to much space..so could some one key me in on what is the best way to burn copies and not get the error im getting.
Use Craxtion to copy the disk and make an iso with and then use DVD Decrypter to burn the iso image. I beleve you can even use craxtion to even burn, but you stlill need dvd decrypter installed on the system as it uses its burning engine.quitecoolguy said:

You just need to make an ISO of the entire game folder, and burn that to disc with record now. You DON'T need to put the files and folders on the disc too, ONLY the ISO goes on the disc. Click "burn dvd from an image already on harddrive" to burn it properly.

LOL funny enough there are lawyers (cant say who or where anymore) that will actually take your case if you get caught under the influence or in posession because THC helps prevent skin cancer. I know this if off the subject but its interesting to know.TokenUser said:
