I think you are busy drinking the Kool Aid. I never said you do not have the rights to back it up. It is the WAY in which you back it up. Hard drive versus torrent, youtube, etc. Something that allows others access to it, basically providing distribution.
What is ridiculous is your inability to actually read
what I type, and secondly to try and put words in my mouth I did not say, imply, or infer.
My argument is, and has always been, the technology you use to 'back up', and that some of them allow access to other users, meaning you are distributing it. So your hard drive comment holds no water.
