Steam.

If I download something from Steam, can I only install it once or can I install it as many times as I want as long as I'm logged in?

And I was wondering how long a disk usually lives(if you don't scratch it).

You can download your games as much as you like.

Disks will outlive you if they're handled correctly.

About the disk, it depends on the person

Yes discs will out live you, floppies and zips are too if handled correctly.

Great to hear,
Thanks.

Right I should have said they out lived their drives.

Does that also count for disks or just zips and floppies?

Actually the truth is Disks have a 10 year life span. If after 10 years they still hold the media and are usable then you are lucky. But all Manufacturers will tell you too back up media that is on a disk once theyget close too that age.

Disks aren't alive. So you've already outlived yours.

How do I backup media on a disc? Video game discs are usually copy protected and stuff right? Can I do it without getting some illegal program? I take good care of all of my disc, but I really do want them to work longer than I live.
