I have a Mark III and the dealer installed music on each of my 16
memory disks before delivering the piano to my home.
I'd like to somehow backup these memory disks to protect against
losing the music on them in case of a failure, etc.
I tried to copy 'all songs' of a memory disk to a floppy but can't due
to copyright.
If your dealer copied Yamaha-published song files to your Disklavier's internal memory, you are correct that the Disklavier will prevent you from copying them to another floppy disk. This is part of the copy protection scheme.
I am assuming that your dealer sold you these song files and then copied them to the internal memory as a convenience to you. The original files come on floppy disks. Since you paid for them, you are entitled to the disks. I suggest that you ask the dealer for them.
