Question

Can anyone tell me what software I can use to create a backup copy of PS2 game disks or whether this is possible.

I would like to create backup copies of these disks so when darling children get hold of them I haven't lost the money I have invested in them, any help will be gratefully received.

Backing up your own originals might be piracy. Read the licence agreement, it'll be in there. If it says you may not backup, even for own use, then it *is* piracy.

Cheers

Fair use. The license is probably unenforcable as an unfair contract. Also, you can probably only read the license once you've broken a seal accepting a license, which is deemed unenforcable too.
