I ordered an external enclosure for an IDE hard drive and a DVD ROM disc drive compatible with Wii discs. In English, I ordered a kit that lets me copy my Wii and GameCube games to my computer, by connecting a CD drive (we know what THAT is at least, right? The thing where you press the button and the thing comes out that you put your CD in?! Well, believe it or not, the computer is actually not one piece and you can take those out) to my computer through USB (Please tell me you know what USB is. Universal Serial Bus. The little squares you connect things to on the front of your computer). (Sorry for the sarcasm ) So it's cool, anyways. I'm ripping Wii Sports and the internal name (which is the name Nintendo recognizes it as) is "SPORTS PACK for REVOLUTION". I'm going to rip Zelda next.

Yeah, but what's the point in that if you can just get them online?

*Thinks for a minute* Ok, what? You're the one who's all anti-piracy. Plus torrents take about two days longer and there's a better chance you'll get caught. Plus, because of Rawdump and these DVD drives, the dumping has become something that is no longer professional so it's more likely that faulty dumps will be out. All my discs are clean, and it's possible that scratched ones will still be able to be dumped with the loss of information. I trust Paradox with an ISO, but not Joe, Bob, and Mike down in Iraq who accidentally spilled beer on their Wii Sports.

Yeah, but I don't find it a crime if you already own it.

Yeah, but I don't find it a crime if you already own it. It's still a crime. Don't look at it like that though. Ask if it's right or wrong. Even if you own the game and you download it it's illegal. You MUST make the backup yourself.
