Dr Gonzo's version. You probably don't have anything to worry about, but it is still illegal - but then again I don't know Canadian law, you'd have to look it up yourself. I know it's illegal in Australia, NZ, the UK and the US - and *should* be illegal in all countries that uphold copyright laws, except if they explicitly give you a legal right to make back-up/archival copies. For instance, here in Australia I have a legal right to make a back-up of software, but not of movies or music. Taping a show off a TV without permission from the copyright holder is also illegal (but no one's ever been charged for it).
