Hi, recently i noticed that i've lost my old 3.5" floppy disk contains Dune (original media)

But of course i backup these game before on my dvdr.

Now my question is without original media i mean original floppy disk can i still have the game legaly? Or without media its no more original?

Well, having a receipt should ward you against any legal action, not having any proof of purchase is definitely not helping. But would right holders try to make legal moves on you for one really old game if they ever happen to find out you use 'potentially counterfeited software' ? I don't think so.

Just don't sell a burnt DVD :)

Thanks for your answer.

Presumably the statute of limitations would have expired by now. But, IANAL and who knows what the law is like in Turkey anyways.

I think you mean "statue of limitations".

I would say that losing the original disk should not extinguish per se your right to use the game. Problem is : how else do you evidence your rightful ownership ?

A while ago, I wanted to replay a game I once owned on 5"25 disks. I managed to contact the publisher ( and they still existed ), but they could not provide me with replacement disks. However, when I sent them a picture of the box and manuals, they sent me a digital copy. But I'm afraid It's the only occasion I ever got such a great customer service. Other companies I contacted for similar reasons often had a "couldn't care less" attitude towards their old products ( at least towards providing support for ancient products )

I heard that is a good game. Hopefully you'll find the original floppy disk. :D
