*watches for the flurry of xp discs*

I was wondering about that- is it possible to make a backup copy of an XP disc for people who have a genuine key for their PC?

I dont know though so I'll stay clear that kind of stuff though.

And as long as its nothing weird as well...

ALSO:

We do PC health and security advice, and other bits and bobs as well.
Although the VHS-DVD service is not up and running just yet- we are still working on that one at the moment, but it should be up and running VERY very soon.

We will be doing DV to DVD as well shortly :thumbsup:
We are just getting the equipment and everything sorted for it first so it wont be too long.

DVD duplication- depends how many copies you want doing of the DVD- if its just a one or two disc straight duplication- then £5 for a single disc and £8 for two discs.

thats pretty expensive to be fair, £8 for 2 disks! - what kind of prices for 100 dvd's or 200?

also do you use a duplication machine? my mate sells these and DVD's in bulk.

We can price match as well mate- but that depends on the price though.
I usually do 4 discs for £10 but thats if you are buying 4 though.

You can always PM me and we can discuss things further though to see if we can come up with a deal for you :thumbsup:

I've just quoted someone for 50x double disc set £100- but thats because its a double disc set 50x + labels/covers/cases + costs it will cost me to do 100 discs worth though.. I think that is cheap when you consider the prices elsewhere :)

Yep, we use a duplicator machine at the moment- what does your mate charge please?

the prices sound better, didnt realise you did cover and CD print though - obviously that bumps the price up.

My mate works for Insight - but i know they have just done a promotion on these as he was telling me, they cost probably 1k+ as they are for big duplication, maybe holding upto 500 discs, ill get some more info if you need.

:hihi: No worries mate.
Yep we do, disc + disc label + cover art + case and also if there needs something specifically printing ie: personalised photo we offer personalisation as well.

By eck! A 500 disc copier.... now thats the mutts nutts!
That would be my xmas present to myself for the next few years if I could get one of them in :thumbsup:

Mine is only a 3-1 duplicator at the minute, but if all goes well, I'll be going for the 7-1 or 9-1 soon enough!

It looks like it holds 500 discs and does one at a time- usually takes about 3/6 mins per disc... I want it!!!

Must-have-500 disc holder duplicator!!

You're not allowed to do that in the UK anymore due to Copyright law- it's illegal.

So if someone owned the copy and wanted a backup of it- I am not allowed to make them a backup copy then?

Hmmm.. I'm sure I read somewhere that if you own the original you are allowed to own a backup copy also :thumbsup:

Nope, its one of those things that people think is true because they see it all over the place, the same as every website with ROMS available to download gives the disclaimer 'you may download this ROM only if you own the original, if you dont it must be deleted within 24 hours' Its illegal to do it, whether you own the original or not. The only things its legal to make copies of are things created in the first place by the user, ie wedding videos (assuming they filmed it themselves and didnt get a pro in to do it, in which case the copywrite is held by the pro), holiday vids etc.

.........Home copying becomes a serious issue if copies are made from a CD or record, and then offered for sale. As the copyright owner has the exclusive right to do this, home-made copies are unauthorised copies, which cannot be sold legally. In the UK, the very act of making a copy (even for personal use) is a breach of copyright and technically an offence, so there are absolutely no circumstances under which home-made copies of music can be offered for sale legally.

No matter what verbal fancy footwork sellers may use to try and legitimise their actions, and attempt to pass liability on to purchasers, they are guilty of copyright infringement from the moment the first copy is made.......

have read similar on:

looks like its home vids and music only, only it was on the news last week that the music industry was going to turn the other cheek to people who copy music from their cds to their mp3 players, but only for personal use

That would line up with photocopying from library books if its for personal study or research.

If you have looked into this properly ANGELUS (which I doubt as you have not taken up hardly any of the suggestions on your previous thread on this subject), you will know all this.

Trading standards generally are massive on this at the moment and you don't want to appear on watchdog or something :nono:

Look for something (legal) that you are good at and stick to it...
