Default Re: OT: Software copyright law?

Personally I go by the whole Roman concept of 'If it's a stupid law, it's not a law.' And if a law is contradictory (you're legally allowed to make backups but must violate the law to do so), then it's pretty stupid. Of course, I highly doubt that argument would stand up in court, but if no one knows whether or not I make archival copies, and as long as those copies don't find their way into anyone else's hands, it's not something I worry about.
