Funny that.  I've seen many a software package distributed on floppy disks
that instructs the end user to make a backup copy, and then use the backup
copy and store the original in a safe place.  By the legal definition, that
backup could actually be illegal, given that it is used while the original
is still in a usable condition and in the original owner's possession.
