Is there a way to copy a profile say of Law and Order disk 1, and make a paste for disks 2-6.  So that each can be edited for each disk of the season?

It's not possible to copy a complete profile. It's only possible to copy/paste the cast and crew. As a workaround you can edit existing profiles containing most of the required data. If you intend to create child profiles on disc level you have to insert the appropriate disc and set the flag to use disc-id instead of ean/upc (if not available for child-disc's).

As Kahless says, it's not straightforward but what you can do is download the profile for disc 1, put disc 2 in your drive, Change EAN/UPC and tell it to use the Disc ID of what's in the drive (Disc 2) then modify the new profile to match Disc 2.
As you no longer have a Disc 1 profile you can then download the profile for disc 1 again (because it is no longer in your collection) and repeat for disc 3 etc.

The only problem with this is that Disc 1 profile needs to be online.

If it isn't (thinking about it) you could do the profile for Disc 1 and do a backup of your collection then, instead of downloading the Disc 1 profile each time just do a restore of that one profile (Disc 1) and modify it as I described above.

Well it is a bit of a pain but it could be worse!

Oh, I suppose once you've done Profiles for Discs 1-3 you could do another back-up, convert 1-3 to 4-6 and then restore 1-3. That would mean at least you wouldn't have to restore after every new disc creation!
