My neighbor and I were arguing and I need a vote:
addition to the legality of software backup ...... Because a
Wii uses type DVD discs, you can use your DVD back to burn a copy?
I say 'no', he said 'yes', but you must have a driver iso. Honestly, I do not know what it is but I think that as a huge company that would have imagined a better way to protect yourself is it not?

To answer the initial question, you may not copy discs Wii because they have a non-standard, Nintendo exclusive error correction system. Wii disks are inherently more GameCube discs and DVDs are both fundamentally ** ** except for the correction of errors. Since the error correction owns and that are not part of the DVD-ROM specification, they are not technically DVD discs and Nintendo does not have to pay licensing for the DVD consortium Nor can their records DVD bearing the logo.
However, Nintendo does not have to pay licensing through their subsidiary Pioneer DiscoVision Associates for the fact that the Wii disc is read by a laser and operates under a principle patented reflective optical disks, But I digress.
Anyway, there is a way to copy a disc Wii GC and getting a hard drive with error correction can be modified or can be adapted to work with the Nintendo system , as well as the DVD of the scheme. Then you need to change the Wii for the same thing, otherwise he will not play backups they will be registered with DVD error correction versus Nintendo error correction as well as the territorial lockout in the case of securities Foreigners Wii.
And, as of legality, the United States, which includes software for the protection of any kind can be legally copied under the DMCA and technologies and services intended to evade the violent; "fair use" does not take into account, because it was rare.
Read the law, and more specifically, Title I, section 103 1201, paragraphs A and B.
Paragraph: "No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title. The prohibition contained in the preceding sentence takes effect at the end the period of 2 years from the date of promulgation of this chapter. "
Since Wii implements technical measures to protect its content (ownership error correction not specified by the DVD Consortium territorial and lockouts), which is a working copy of a disc Wii and use of a modchip to play that are illegal under this paragraph. And since the law was enacted in 1998 and Wii started more than two years after the Wii software is protected by the DMCA.
Paragraph B: "No person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof, which --
(A) is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing protection afforded by a technological measure that effectively protects a right of a copyright owner under this title in a work or a portion thereof
(B) has only limited commercial purpose or use other than to circumvent protection afforded by a technological measure that effectively protects a right of a copyright owner under this title in a work or any part thereof, or
(C), which is marketed by another person or acting in concert with that person with that person's knowledge for use in circumventing the protection afforded by a technological measure that effectively protects a right of a copyright owner under this title in a work or a portion of it. "
Paragraph B covers the basics of the supply of products and services designed to circumvent those protections in almost any way imaginable. Examples modchips are illegal and distribute Services to modify a DVD-ROM firmware to enable it to recognize the non-standard error correction Wii discs in the United States are illegal in the territories under the heading above, section and sub-section, paragraph B, paragraphs A, B and C of the DMCA.
Of course, the law will not stop people who are determined to try, and for the most part they will be all right, if they are not visible on it. however, you would be better to believe Nintendo is strong on its legal standings.

There is nothing wrong in backing up your own property. Distribute copy righted content is another story. performs If a backup just for the sole purpose of having a backup in case the DVD is damaged is perfectly fine. distributes If ... with the visit of FBI LOL.

you are wrong.
It is completely legal to possess a backup disk or a snack corrupts nothing broken, however, if you sell this disc it becomes illegal.
The only problem with these discs is that they do not work with a wii unless you get chipped, which is not illegal either, its just a little risky and cancel your waruntee. risky By i mean they tend to break when they are chipped.
