Since youalready bought the CD then for someone to copy and mail you the CD wouldn't break any law that I know of. If the staff see this and don't agree, please post.
It's still piracy. You aren't allowed to copy and redistribute the game media at all, under the terms of not just the EULA but one or two US Federal Laws (as well as various laws in other countries too). Preventing piracy of digital media is one of the first things most civilized countries did when computers took off.
Besides, you'll probably get the ParsePacketEntities Of Doom error from using a copied disc. Copied discs may have all the datafiles for the game, but they sure as hell don't have all the data that's on the original disc. In a manner of speaking.
If you broke a disc, send in for a replacement one. Details are in the back of the manual. Would probably be cheaper to just buy a new copy, though. I mean, it's like what - $5?
Y'know... I didn't think of that. My brain must be slowing down since I got sick. Thanks Kouen.
"Well =_= BEHOLD! A PACK OF AMPHIBIOUS WARLORDS OF DARKNESS, LED BY A JABBERING IMBECILE. Anyone who dares use that phrase against me shall be met with a severed spine =_,=."

Well I didn't broke it, only lost it so it's somewhere here so I'm not buying new one (besides it's hard to find new in finland it never was a big seller here)
all I need is someone to beta test these weapons if I can't find my cd
Hey Kouen, if he copied the disk himself from another copy, and as long as he had a receipt for the original, it's actualy not considered piracy. Because there was no legal tender transacted. Or other conditions gained. I know this because a CD company tried to sue my cousin for copywrite infringement. Unfortunately for them, my cousin had the original disks and reciepts for every single cd, for the songs he downloaded.
although I doubt anyone goes to those lengths to download anything anyway....
Though I do respect such policies being enforced...
