    Well I have to agree with the philosophy, and I agree that you have
    the right to choose to break the law and pirate that ware -- but, what exactly is wrong with duplicating *ANYTHING* that you legitimately own
    for personal use?

    Absolutely NOTHING, and currently if you own the original you ARE permitted
    to make copies for your own personal use. This is true for software, music,
    or even books and magazines. As long as you aren't sharing the copies with others, you aren't breaking the law.

    There are a few cases where license agreements may forbid you from making back-up copies, but that falls under breach of contract, not under copyright infringement.
