Ryanaller is right it is morally wrong to copy anything for distribution. It prevents the people and creators of the media etc from making money that they deserve and does not encourage them to make more. It is however ok and your right to make ONE back-up copy. Hint, hint, wink, wink, say no more. I doubt that any manufacturer would care much if one back-up copy was viewed by someone other than the owner but this sort of thing should be kept low key.
