Romantic Robot's Multiface backup
utility reviewed this month raises a
controversial issue: i s i t legal t o
copy software for archival purposes?
A game costs upwards o f £20, a
serious application l i k e a w o r d
processor often weighs in at around
£100 and so-called 'professional"
packages can be more expensive
than your computer. The argument
isn't whether you are being ripped
off, b u t whether y o u should b e
entitled t o copy the software you
have bought. That's copy as in make
a single backup; not copy a s i n
duplicating 3 0 0 t i m e s f o r
distribution round the country. Don't
confuse making a backup with
pirating.
There really isn't any option. You
simply must protect your software
investment. You'd be foolish not to;
however, you'd probably be breaking
the law at the same time. Unless a
software house gives you permission
to backup a piece o f software
(usually in the form of some clause
in the documentation), you can be
prosecuted in the civil courts. It's a
Catch 2 2 situation - whatever you
do you're in trouble.
Some packages come with a
notice encouraging you to backup
the software - but they are in the
minority and are generally serious
applications costing vast amounts.
Most software unfortunately is sold
without any proviso; there is nothing
in the fine print that says you can't
make a backup, b u t then again
there's nothing that says you can. So
what do you do? You have to phone
the m a n u f a c t u r e r a n d a s k
permission. Even if you discover you
are allowed to make a backup, you
probably won't be able to a s the
program is heavily protected.
A law is required that enables
anyone who buys a package t o
make a single archive copy of the
software. Alternatively i t could b e
compulsory t h a t software houses
supply two copies of a program: one
master disk and one backup. O f
course there are other ways round
the problem, b u t t h e s o o n e r
something is done the better.
