Some nice female vocal symphonic metal to start the day off right.

just came back from installing a new TV and Apple TV (with Netflix, HBOmax, Disney+ and Sky Showtime) at the apartment of my disabled son. Great fun to tinker about there and make the choices for a program to watch at night somewhat easier…
He has multiple complex disabilities and is 100% dependent on care. So with the new fast Wifi installed in the complex, the time was right to go for this upgrade.

thxs, but he’s already 39 and very healthy besides his disabilities; so nothing to worry right now!

This is incorrect. Since 2014, UK law does permit making backups of such media, and therefore, if the original is lost, it’s fine to continue to use the backup.
Personal copies for private use
What has changed?
Copyright law has been changed to allow you to make personal copies of media
(ebooks, digital music or video files etc) you have bought, for private purposes
such as format shifting or backup.Before this change to the law, it was not legal to copy music that you bought on
a CD onto your MP3 player. The changes, which apply from 1 October, update
copyright law to make this legal, as long as you own what you are copying, e.g. a
music album, and the copy you make is for your own private use.
You are also able to copy a book or film you have bought for one of your devices
onto another of your devices, without infringing copyrightHowever, it is still illegal to make copies for friends or family, or to make a copy
of something you do not own or have acquired illegally, without the copyright
owner’s permission. So you cannot make copies of CDs for your friends, copy
CDs borrowed from friends, or copy videos illegally downloaded from file-sharing
websites.The law allows you to make personal copies to any device that you own, or a
personal online storage medium, such as a private cloud. However, it is illegal to
give other people access to the copies you have made, including, for example,
by allowing a friend to access your personal cloud storage.

Since the guidance explicitly says “backup”, I don’t believe that can be the case. A backup is used in the event of damage, loss or theft, so it is quite possible that the original media is unavailable.

I think Martin is completely correct…

I should add that this applies to the EU, too, since UK data protection law was aligned with the EU in 2014.

We’re listening an Ibiza Lounge playlist - having a simple diner (home made green pea soup) later and then we’re going to watch “The Maestro” - simple but nice…

You are now breaking the law copyright wise as they are no longer backups.
