    I am looking for software that will copy music CD's, Sega CD's or Sony

    Before I get all kinds of replies with "oh thats illegal" stuff from the
lamers, let me explain my point of view.  I do not want to have to buy extra
copies of the CD's at over $60-$70 a piece. I also trade my CD's alot with
friends so the CD's often get scratched. I like my CD's to be in absolute
mint condition for future value. Thus, the purpose of backups just like PC's.
As if it wasn't enough that software companies rip us off, they've rendered
our abilities to backup our software next to impossible.
    Any ideas?

Depends on the area which the sysop lives in. If they live here in Canada,
where the majority of boards do not run commercial BBS software, they might
be safe. As for finding out over the nets, thats next to impossible because
the sysop can change the tag and origin lines. But yes, pirating commercial
BBS software might be... unwise.
