When using game copier software to back up your games on your Xbox, PlayStation 2 or 3, Wii or any other major gaming console, there are a few precautions you need to be aware of. Not only with the legality and piracy issues, but also with the particular type of game copier software you choose to use.
The whole idea behind using game copier software is to create a backup for the games you have spent your hard earned money on. When you purchase a new game you’ll notice that the disc easily becomes scratched and inoperable, even when you leave it in the console! Don’t ask me how that happens, but it’s happened to too many of my games in the past.
If you haven’t already purchased game copy software to enable you to backup your games, then you need to be careful when selecting the software. Stay away from free downloads, unless they are free trial versions of particular game copy software that is limited and requires payment information to download. This is important as it represents a legitimate product that is backed with user guarantees to protect yourself and your computer.
The majority of the free game copier software available will, at best, not work or, at worst, contaminate your computer with viruses and spyware. Stick to reputable and recommended game copier software sources. They are relatively inexpensive and are well worth staying away from the risk of viruses and invasion of your computer. Most game copying software products can retail for as little as $25-$40 USD.
When you’re evaluating various game copier software products, be sure the product offers the capability of reading and copying a wide number of different file types. This is a good indication of the sophistication of the software which will enable you to copy all of your games, no matter the gaming platform.
Another risk associated with game copying software is the issue of piracy and copyright laws. Many people are of the assumption this kind of game copier software is illegal. The fact is that it’s not illegal to own game copying software. And in many countries it is completely acceptable to have a burnt backup copy of the games you own. Of course, this acceptable within reason and it is important to be aware of the copyright and piracy laws in your country and how they relate to your usage of game copier software.
We are in no way recommending the use of such game copier software to rip and burn games for distribution or sale. Piracy can be as simple as copying a game to give to friends and family or as complex as ripping and burning games for profit. Like all tools as powerful as game copier software there is always the opportunity of exploitation. Ensure you stay on the right side of the laws governing your country.
