Yes, it is illegal to make a copy of a C.D. for anybody but the owner. If the C.D. is not copyrighted it is legal but that's very rare

Is doperoms legal?

The idea of downloading and emulating game roms seems to be a legal gray area. According to copyright laws, people can create backups of their files, so the website itself is legal. Weather downloading them is legal or not is hard to say. Say you were making backups of your dvds and one dvd broke before you could back it up. Could you go get a backup that your friend made? Or are you only allowed to use your own backups? In my opinion, I think the former should be acceptable. This is basically the same situation we have with doperoms. We would basically be downloading their backups instead of making our own. Anather problem is weather we sould be able to play them without your physical game being broken(remember, they are backups). It should be legal to use a backup, but if you are concerned about how legal it is, I'd consult someone who knows more about copyright laws.

Give three reasons why hackers want to break into computer systems?

Why do Hackers hack?1. For things. Yes, breaking into a computer is great for getting information. if I wanted a DVD that someone has, I would just need to break in and steal the DVD loaded software without having to do it myself. Free DVD anyone?2.For status. Just like bank robbery, it looks cool to be in a gang, have an identity and get recognition for a skill. That's if you're desperate for social approval.3.For fun. Hacking is a game to prove how smart you are. The more defences, anti-viral, anti-spyware and firewalls you can destroy the smarter you are. Also, it's gladiator games phenomenon. Yeah you can get a thrill form destroying someone's computer. It's not your own.4.For vengeance. Stupid laws against piracy? Fed up about having to buy subscriptions to iTunes and Napster? Well, hack in and modify the subscription program and them you can watch them get angry at losing money. Also, you can lynch programs for free off them while they scramble like rats trying to fix Paypal! No, I wouldn't recommend it; it's not fair.5.For nothing. Sometimes, you hack without meaning too. Or you join a gang to see what it's like. Before you know it, you're hooked. Don't do it.6.For guilt. Hackers sometimes break in to fix systems which users forget to repair. They also alert users to security holes in their system. they also can repair systems from a far which other hackers have destroyed. bear in mind, that these people are a great when they show up but like batman they can be scary. unfortunately, hacking for good causes is rare. Can someone call Techno Hood for my computer again?Hackers hack for a reason. it's mostly psychological.
