Leagle to downlad a game i allready own?

Alot of EULA's suggest you've bought the right to play the game on 1 PC at a time. You don't own the game and the medium it is stored on is irrelevant. Cracked disc or not, you have the right to play the game. Download all you want, as long as you don't share the files (while still keeping a copy for yourself). selection_7

Wow...morality!

To steal is immoral!

Laws were created by people who had a sense of morality!

Morality and legality go hand and hand, you can't have one without the other.

Your disc was damaged by you! That does not give you the right to torrent/pirate it!

Just buy it again and take better care of it..

Don't listen to these others as they have no concept of morality!

Next thing you know they'll be telling to steal another car because yours broke down....

You know whats right...don't do it!

Every pirated game is taking money from you, me and every other "Honest" PC gamer! ( Not to mention the gamemakers who need every dime nowadays to keep making more games)

There is nothing "Moral" about it....it is stealing!

umm well i would go out and buy it but the game has ben discontinued so i cant buy it in stores enymore. and i cant order it online because i dont have a credit card. also i did not put the big ass crack in my CD. when i played it (didnt play it that mutch) i had a CD rom that would spin out of control (for reasons i dont know wyh) and after a month or 2 it started cracking from the inside out. after letting it sit in its case forever sience the thing in the middle is so tight and over time it just cracked to the point to where i couldent install it enymore.

also the compay that developed the game Activision no longer supports this game so i cant get a replacement.

Bulllllllllllllllllllllllsh**.

Laws are created to keep order, not to keep people moral.

If some guy beat up my sister, it would be morally correct of me to hunt him down and beat him up.  But the law says I cant, and I am not satisfied with the one month of jail time and 20 hours of community service he would get if the law prosecuted him (which is what first-time offenders get).

Download the game, and if you do get in trouble (which can only happen if you upload, not download, the game) just show the judge the disk you have.  There are literally thousands of loopholes in any legal system that a half-assed lawyer knows about.  So, take the risk of downloading it.  In the highly unlikely event that you do get caught, well I guess your risk didnt pay off.  Just get a 300 dollar lawyer and get by.

I mean, if my friend can get caught with 5 pounds of weed, get a lawyer that costs him 800 dollars, and get off with a 40 hour sentence, I seriously think nothing bad will happen to you.

with regards to pc games your pretty much paying for the CDkey/serial...go ahead and download itMiguel16

yup, so true.

You can download the game but so long as you enter that CD key in (a legitemate one, that is) I think you are safe.

ok well i have a game called Startrek Bridge Commander its about 4 years old and i decided i was going to re install it so i found the disk and when i looked at the back to see how good it was the game has a massive crack comming out from the middle and to about halfway out the disk.

my question is sience i own the game (can take a pic of the CD so you bileve me) can i download it again so i can play it? i only plan on using it myself and wont make eny copies of it (mostly cause my friends dont like startrek)

It's still illegal even if you purchased it in the past. Why? Because technically, you never bought the game itself...You can't actually *own* a game, you bought the disk it was stored on.SuperBeast

Gods! What abunch of lame answers!

You can make a copy of the game, that is correct!

But just because you can't take care of your stuff does not entitle you do torrent/pirate it!

Most of you have no concept of morality.

You relate morality with not getting caught....!!!

Some guy stated if someone he knew was attacked he could not track him down and do the same.

That is also correct!

Thats what laws are for...for the judicial system to do thier job, of course they would be also be lenient if you did, as it happened under duress.

Most of these reponses are just plain idiiotic!

You don't worry about doing it because you don't think you will be caught...maybe not, the internet is a large place.But you guys are the reason I have to deal with Secur-Rom and other anti-piracy crap!

But being moral is knowing what is right and wrong....and taking something you didn't pay for is immoral and illegal.

So what if you already bought it, YOU BROKE IT!.

Just pay for it...old games don't cost that much!

The guy said he couldn't find it...ever heard of E-Bay or Amazon etc?

If you want to live in your worlds of self delusion...go ahead! What do I care.

In the end you will find out ...I bet most of you are young, as you grow up and gain maturity, you'll find out what life is really like. And from what I can tell...you'll learn the hard way!

I laugh in the face of morals, download it, play it be happy. Just don't cry if the FBI knock on your door. Marko_Ragnos

Well if you live in Canada then anything P2P is legal as long as you don't sell the items you downloaded. This includes Limewire and Bittorrents :D. I love this country.zayl99
