I copy and burn CD's all the time. They are my own CD's purchased legitimately, and to protect my investment I make a copy, in case the original corrupts in any way.
The legitmacy of such actions has been open to question for many years. Ever since vinyl records and magnetic tape recorders were introduced, and people used to copy records onto tape. Then came cassette tapes, and people making copies. Then music CD's and finally software CD's.
The question "seems" to be one of intent. If I intend to copy records, tapes, CD's, whatever for resale, then I infringe on copyright law and I am at risk of prosecution. But it has been argued that if I copy my media "for my own use", then this should not be treated as an infringement of the copyright laws.
However, I am unsure how far this has been tested in law, and if it has for records, cassette, music CD's, whether the ruling also applies to software CD's.
I agree with what Bob has said in this case.
But I note something from the original question. This was;
"Ok, I am trying to burn a copy of Friday Night Lights using Nero. Whenever I try to burn it tho, it won't let me because it says that it has copyright protection. Is there any way I can override that or something."
My own question for this is, "Where did the original come from?"
I don't know what Friday Night Lights is, but if this is an original that the poster purchased himself from a legal source, then I would support his attempt to make a back-up copy for his own use, even though the legality of it may not be certain.
But if it is an illegal copy, then what he proposes is also illegal.
Furthemore, if he intends to sell the copy he makes, this is also illegal, whether the original is a legal copy or an illegal one.
So really, to give a full answer to his post, we need further information from him.
Even then, the legality of what he proposes may not be all that clear.
