steve burnell Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I dont follow? How is it illegal if he HAS a key?? He already PAID for the product? Hes not cracking anything, or stealing anything, or loosing anyone money. He has paid for the game in full and merely needs the CD to play it. Its like loosing the keys to your car. Just because you lost the keys dosent mean you gota buy the dam car again now does it? had to do this myself, i own both the orig and damaged my broodwar disc (well my kids did) downloaded a copy used my key works perfect even online Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) If I bought the software but lost the data (disc, download whatever) I am entitled to get that data however I wish as long as it is an equivalent software version and I have my serial number...

Downloading a game you legally own is not against the law. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakieee Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) So I was right? Its not illegal if you have a key code? Edited March 28, 2008 by snakieee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeo55 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 It may be legal or illegal, who cares. Pointing him to extremely controversial, questionable (with usually other illegal content) sources do NOT belong on OCC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakieee Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I realize where Unforgivin is coming from. You are just protecting the forum but I am not telling him to use an illegal keygen or crack the game. He is merely trying to gain a usable copy of the game so he can install and plugin HIS SERIAL CODE THAT HE BOUGHT so he can play it. No offensive but torrents are not illegal and you might think that there abused and I agree but they are very useful in matters like this including downloading large FREE software. After saying this haha PLEASE don't ban me!!! I enjoy this forum and I am not personally changeling you. I think your overlooking this and think its wrong because torrent have a bad rep. I have said my piece and Ill now leave it alone in less you comment and wish for my input again. Thank you for listening, not getting extremely pissed and not banning me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 The torrent issue is not up for discussion. No one is saying it's "illegal". They're saying it's not allowed here according to OCC's rules. If it's something you're going to do, we can't stop you, but we can stop you from discussing it here. I'm leaving these posts in this thread because this issue comes up from time to time and seems to need clarification. In the future, if you have problems with a moderator's decision, please take it to Private Messages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
