Copyright Office - Copyright Law: Chapter 1 'No-CD cracks have legal uses, such as creating backups of legally owned software (a user right by law in many countries) or avoiding the inconvenience of placing a CD or DVD-ROM in the drive every time the software is being used.'Īlso from U.S. i doubt its illegal.Īccording to reference above it says that 'no CD cracks' are not necessarily illegal. however, considering i do own an original game cd that i had bought long ago and since then i still have it which is somewhat scratched up.
