Is it permissible to copy and sell computer discs that are marked "copying rights reserved"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some computer discs are rare, and they are marked "copying rights reserved." Is it permissible to copy and sell them?

Answer:
We have spoken about this before; it was asked about previously. It is not permissible as long as the owner of the tape prevents its copying without his permission. This is his right; this is his property. It is not permissible to encroach upon it until he grants permission. Yes.
