I think it’s okay to copy Xbox 360 games for a number of reasons. However, I also think it’s not okay to copy Xbox 360 games. It depends on why you’re copying them and who you’re copying them for.
First I’ll tell you why, in certain cases, I think it’s wrong to copy games. If you are illegally copying Xbox 360 games to pirate them or sell them to other people to make money from them, it is illegal and morally wrong. This is the main reason why I think it is not okay to copy games.
If you’re copying Xbox 360 games for backup in case something happens to your original copy, I think it’s totally fine to do so. Why? Because you are protecting your hard earned money that you spent on the game. For example, I’m a member of my local volunteer fire department and we have a community Xbox 360 and everyone buys and shares games. We have a 4-tier rack full of games. As you may know, things in the fire station get broken, broken, and generally rough. We also have members who don’t care about other people’s stuff and decide they want to use Halo ODST as a coaster for their drink. Personally, I copy all the games at the firehouse as soon as I buy them, then store them in a safe place where they can’t be damaged. Then when someone uses the original disc as a frisbee or coaster and it breaks, scratches, or chips… we have a backup disc that we can replace with one that is playable and works.
Of course, the game companies don’t want you to copy Xbox 360 games because they’re afraid someone will do it for the wrong reason to make money and sell them (as if it hurt them financially…yeah, right). Moving on, let me ask you this, if your game gets scratched, cracked or chipped, will the game producer replace it for you? No, they’re going to say “Tough break, go buy a new one.”
So if you’re just doing it to back up your games in case of an accident where they’re unplayable and you’re just trying to protect your hard earned and spent money, then I think it’s fine morally. copy xbox 360 games
