I feel like the little bitch around here. You go look up your own goddamn evidence. Seriously, you are some kind of asshole. Go be one elsewhere, I'm trying to debunk illogical reasons to criticize new products.
There is no legal loophole. None.

I've actually READ the instructions on some of my games and a lot of them say in the back where the legal mumbojumbo that there is no need to make a backup of the game, and that it is illegal to do so.

Here is an example of one of said instruction manuals:

http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gam...ustom_Robo.pdf

Scroll to the last page:

"Copying of any video game for any Nintendo system is illegal and is strictly prohibited by
domestic and international intellectual property laws. “Back-up” or “archival” copies are not
authorized and are not necessary to protect your software. Violators will be prosecuted.
"

Now im not sure about other consoles, but i know nintendo is definitely taking steps.
