Also under copyright protection you only own the right to play the game, in how the developers see fit (some are more lenient then others).
You also are not allowed to download copyright material even if you own it.( unless the developer makes it where you can legally). so if your only copy breaks, you have to buy a new one. Usually licenses are only for that one use, and that specific copy. So I would advise making a copy when you can.
Nintendo does have a stance even against backups.
