[Coco] ROM Copyrights... copyrights in general...

[Bill Pierce]

Something no one has yet to mention or clarify (Dennis?)...
I've always "heard" that if you own the original roms, you have the right to make copies for your own personal use... I have no clue if this is true. I know it did apply to making tape and CD copies of albums I own, but ONLY for personal use.
"IF" this is true, then many of us have the legal right to have and use copies of the roms (no, this doesn't cover uploading/downloading "illegal" copies).
Personally, I own all versions of CB, ECB, DECB, & SECB. I even have copies of CB & ECB (1.01?) on RS cassette tape (factory labeled, and bought from RS as an upgrade).
