Interpretation of law, and to assume that a writer is co resident in your
country, state or town, and thus subject to the same law and also the same
interpretation of a law [if that law is written in the same language, by
usage, grammer or dialect] is to be applied assuemes the same status.
To ASSUME - make an ASS of U and ME.
So all you ASSes, forget about your high horses and realise that one is
generally permitted to make a copy of any media [Music Casette, or CD,
Software CD or other form, Video Tape, VCD or DVD] for which one holds a
specific licence of use. This is usually an acceptable practice covered
under the term 'backup copy'.
For example even Microsoft states in some EULA "If you are downloading the
Software from a Microsoft web site, you may make one (1) additional copy of
the Software on physical media such as a CD-ROM solely to exercise the rights
granted above."
