Comment Fair use for software backups? (Score 1) 253
On the other hand, they think everyone should have a backup right for media bought in digital form, like we have for software.
Not that any government agency bothers to enforce my fair use rights. I've got two or three fucked 'backups' (read: CD copy protection prevented me from excercising fair use rights) here on my table to prove it.
Ironically, the only company I can think of offhand that explicitly gives users the right to make backup copies of their software is Microsoft.

Goodbye karma.
