Without Downloading

Computers are one of the most powerful and popular gaming systems of the moment. But with computer games being delivered on CD or DVD, it's no wonder that many people want the ability to back them up by copying them. However, due to copyright protection, this is nearly impossible, unless you know how to get around it.

It's easy to fall into the trap of wanting to download a PC game just so you don't have to use the game disc to play it... however, there is an easy way to make a backup of your game in order to protect your disk. The problem is that there's just a small hurdle in the way, in the form of a series of copyright protection features, that can prevent many PCs from copying the games.

The copyright protection features that many computer games have is quite simple and is where the game is encrypted with a certain style of copyright measures. Such copyright protection is known as "StarForce" and is a specific type of encryption which makes the data on the game disc hard to read.

In order to copy and play a game without illegally downloading it, you just need to get the original game disc, put it into your DVD drive, then use a copying tool which can read & copy the StarForce copyright protector. Then you just need to instruct the tool to read the game and dupliate what it reads onto a blank DVD. A tool like CloneDVD or imgBurn or Clonedvd or Gamebackupsystem will do this for you. With this tool, you will be able to copy the game discs perfectly and play them on your PC as if they are the original.
