When do you need permission to use games?
“Back-up” copies
There is no general provision allowing a purchaser of a computer game to make a “back-up” copy without the
permission of the copyright owner.
The Copyright Act includes a special provision allowing purchasers of computer programs to make back-up copies,
but this applies only to the computer program itself. Since computer games also involve other copyright material,
such as films, music, sound recordings and artistic works, computer games cannot be copied under this provision.
If you wish to make a back-up copy of a computer game, you should check whether or not the licence allows you to.
If there is nothing stated in the licence about backup copies, you will generally need permission from the
copyright owner to make a backup copy.
