What is the purpose of back-up copies? Is it to protect your investment? If I make back-up copies but can never use them in public to replace lost,stolen or damaged orininals...what good are the copies? As a KJ I cannot ever use these copies for "commercial" purposes. If ,you say, I can use my copies if I can prove that I have the originals at home...that means that I can never sell,trade or give away my originals...or if they are lost,stolen,or damaged I can never use my copies! I cannot see any clear reason to make any copies if this is the case. Am I missing something here?
