| Simple question - I purchased some import CD's a while ago that I really enjoy, but they've become scratched and damaged over time and it's at the point that they're skipping/popping etc. I know that you're allowed to copy a CD you own for your own personal usage once you buy it, but what about in reverse? Am I ok in downloading a CD I already own? Thanks guys. |

Quoted: Does it really?Skip Doctor works really well. http://anime.booksonsales.net/_cache/2/img/y_images_Skipdoctor%20Cd%20Repair%20Kit_0.jpg Indrid_Cold: See if your local library has the CDs that you do in their collection . If so, borrow a copy, and burn a replacement copy for a disc you already own. Whats the difference between burning a backup from a copy you own, or burning a copy of a disk you own from a different source, provided you own an original? Just my suggestion. I can't see how it'd be that big of a brouhaha. ETA: I just noticed the word 'imported'. Sorry for the waste of bandwidth.  |

Some good suggestions here, but alas I think I'm SOL. First off, the damage isn't to the read-side of the disk... it's on the other side, and scratched through to the disk layers themselves (long story short - sand got in the CD sleeves and did some serious damage). Second, I can almost guarantee that no library has these CD's, as I had to special order them from Japan years ago... Checking the copyright laws in Japan is a good idea though... Hmmm...
