Am i allowed to sell a "backup" of a game included along with the original game?

[aphex]

Here's my situation...

I've been considering listing my Dreamcast in FS/FT, but one of my Favorite Games (and many others favorite as well)... Soul Caliber wont play in the system for some reason (must be a small scratch or something).

If i sell the original game with the system, am i allowed to include the "backup" along with it?

i dunno how the mods want to handle this based on their rules, but that would be legal.

yes that's legal as long as you don't have a backup of your own for personal use without the orignal liscense of use. in which case the liscense owner is partly responsible for allowing illegal copies to be made.(from a lawyers point of view.)

Don't forget to contact Sega as well as the software makers and notify them of the transfer of the hardware and licenses to another person.

An interesting situation. It would "seem" that everything would be kosher taking this approach. I can't see why it wouldn't.
