I don't have a suggestion for online storage, I don't really use any. But I use ImgBurn as well and would recommend that. You don't say what the software is but you should keep in mind that if it's got any sort of DRM it may be more difficult to make a copy of, so be sure to test whatever copies you make. It can take trial and error. Doing a search on Google can help you figure out if that's going to be a problem and what settings for a program like ImgBurn will help you get around it. There isn't anything unethical or even illegal (yet!) about making a copy of your own software for your own use, so I wish it didn't have to be so difficult sometimes.
Testing the copied discs is an important point here, because even though it may seem like you made copies and the burning software shows no errors, they may still not work right. Thank you paranoid software vendors.
At the risk of derailing this thread, I will point out that while I, too, believe making a backup copy of software you bought is totally ethical, and was once completely legal to do, that may not in fact be the case anymore. The DMCA makes it illegal to "circumvent" any copy protection mechanism, so if the software you're copying utilizes such a mechanism (which is exactly what makes it more complicated to "copy" a CD than just copying it), and you make a copy anyway, you're technically in violation of the DMCA. I point this out not just to be pedantic, but to demonstrate just how fucked up the DMCA is, because it actually makes previously legal and protected actions illegal simply based on whether or not the software vendor put copy protection on its CDs or DVDs. It gives vendors a way to basically shit on copyright principles at will, simply by including that protection. It doesn't even matter whether the protection is done well, because circumventing the protection is the illegal act itself.
OK, off the soapbox. Good luck with the copying Poker_Babe.
