That wasn't your question though. You are stating you have backup computers (or drives).
Let me pose this - let's get into legalities for a minute. IF the possibility arose that the laws absolutely state that a computer run show - transferring your discs you legally purchased to hard drive - and crackdowns arose where ANYONE using a computer was getting busted, WOULD you go back to discs or just drop out of the game altogether? I would still use Hoster as a player, just through the temp imports of each disc instead of an actual player, since the files don't actually stay on the hard drive after it's played. Still get the benefits of the computer minus the actual hard drive storage.
