Is Copying Wii Games Legal?

You hear about your friends who make their own copies of video game discs for their Wii, Playstation, or Xbox. Some make the copies the versions they actually play so as not to ruin the original. Others sell these copies at school for a profit. Both of these uses are illegal.

A lot of people believe that it’s legal to copy games as long as you’re using them for private use as backups for the original purchased copy. It’s not. Read the FBI warnings in the back of the game’s book. You might not get caught or even in trouble, but that doesn’t make it legal to do.

There are cases of people getting sued for copying games. One woman paid five british pounds for a game on Amazon.com and then distributed it in limewire and kazaa and was charged with a fine of 7000 british pounds! But yet, she did nothing to make a profit from the game. She wasn’t selling it. She essentially was loaning it out.

However, legal or not, you’re probably going to do it anyway, so you should know of at least some legal software you can get that will allow you to succeed in copying your game discs. Just remember that even though the software is legal copying a video game is not legal.

If you search the internet, you can download some freeware to enable you to make copies of your games. But the freeware is in all cases I knwow of absolutely worthless. Keep in mind that your system will run checks on the game and if components are missing it may not play your copy. You will likely find lots of links, mirror codes, etc. to help you make exact duplicates of your game that should play.Below you can find a link to my favorite Wii copy software
