Swap Magic ISN'T a program to copy games, it is the disc you use to play your backed up games on a PS2 with a Slide Card or Magic Switch set.
And no it isn't illegal.

Its not illegal. People that sell it just say its to "play your legally held backups."

The illegal part is downloading/copying games that you do not own, I doubt many people use it for legal uses...

The way I see it, charging £30 is robbery for most PS2 games, ok maybe good ones such as Metal Gear, PES are worth it but the rest are just rippin us off. So its obvious what I used it for...
