Yeah, so this topic has probably been done to death. I searched, but I didn't see what I wanted. Whatever.

So I happened to look in an instruction book for a GC game, and it said that backup or archive copies of the game are illegal.

I thought that as long as you owned the original, you could make a copy. I wouldn't be circumventing copy protection to make the copy, but i would most likely be doing that in order to <i>use</I> the copy.

So what's up? Is Nintendo lying to us, or am I mistaken somehow?
