Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004
Would anyone know why I cannot back up disc 4 of this Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. I use it frequently and fear that I might damage my one and only copy. If anyone has been successfull in backing up disc 4, could you please let me know what back up software you used. Thank you Dave |

eenews.net... Or... you can purchase Alcohol 120% and use their program to make a legal copy of your CD #4 *AND* create an image that you can mount virtually on your computer, thus eliminating the need for a nocd patch (that is technically illegal) For what it's worth, a program like Alcohol 120% is just as illegal as any "nocd patch". Both involve the circumvention of copy protection schemes, which is illegal under the DMCA (even in fair-use situations such as backing up or enhancing convenience, where the basic use license is not being violated). IMHO, that illegality shouldn't stop anyone from using those kinds of programs, assuming one does have a legal license to use the software. One just should not be under the impression that there's a difference between circumventing copy protection schemes one way versus another. It's all technically illegal. Pete |

Pete IMO all laws that cannot or will not be enforced should not be enacted. That is why I consider the drug and abortion laws wrong headed. Their only use is for the "politically" folks to take the moral highground in seeking votes and demonizing their opponents. I never gave the "illegality" of nocd use in flight simming the slightest consideration nor would I give mainlining peanut butter any legal consideration if I wanted to do that. Blue |
