Yes, it is illegal to copy a computer game. The game is copyright, which means that by law, you are not allowed to copy it. Doing so could result in a lawsuit towards you from the company. They will sue for the maximum amount of money possible.

If you have purchased or CD or otherwise own it in the form of a gift, it is not illegal to duplicate it as long as it's for personal use. It is technically illegal to make a copy and sell it to a friend or give it away.

If your CD contains only your own original content (images, music, text, etc), you could claim copyright on it.

Copying someone else's content without a license is illegal.

Absolutely. You are allowed to make one backup copy of any CD that you own. You cannot distribute or share that copy with anyone though. That is copyright violation.

Yes, it is illegal to duplicate a CD when it has copyright restrictions clearly mentioned on it. If it is your personal CD for personal use then you can make as many copies as you wish.
