Often persons who have a Nintendo Wii console would like to find out how to copy Wii games. Once that is covered, another concern is "Is it legal to burn games?" The brief response is without a doubt "Absolutely!" It is perfectly lawful to copy Nintendo Wii video games. However the longer answer is a little more complicated, and I shall address that next.
There has been a lot of arguing in recent years, but the current answer is included in the Fair Use Act, which in a nutshell states that people can backup, copy, rip, burn, or whatever you would like to describe it, if the user are the purchaser of the master copy. This encompasses movies, games, and music and any other types of media. In fact, it is advised that persons backup games, immediately after purchase. By this, you can be sure that a copy is accessible in the event the original is stolen, damaged, or lost. Furthermore, the copy can be used regularly, while the original is put away for safe keeping. So don't worry - there is currently no lawful penalty for backing up Wii games. The FBI is not going to show up banging down your back door, or ticket you for lots of dough.
There is, however, an issue to address if you wish to learn how to copy Wii games. You to use an application software program that can erase any protections. Video game companies place these restrictions on their video games, to try to keep the user from burning the games and vending or giving the games to pals. The manufacturers can't do anything to completely prevent this, but they sure can try to make it difficult. The protections themselves are entirely legal, but eliminating them is also lawful. So to help all those users out there who do not want to damage their masters, software companies have created applications that can do this relatively quickly, and quite easily as well.
