Took me about 2 minutes to find this, IBM's lawyers have to be ROTFL over this latest claim. How come no comment from ZDNET about this in the story? One more thing, if you are going to claim section 117 says they can't...Scroll down a bit further and you will see that section 117 permits the owner of a copy of a software program to make a backup copy regardless of the copyright holders limits. This does not mean the copyright holder is limited to only one copy.
