Would anyone like to steal software for me too?

This is not a hacker warez forum so it really shouldn't be used for piracy

Nobody said he was pirating anything.

Isn't the CD key the serial number which is basically the license to use the software. When you buy a piece of software you are paying for a single user license, read your terms of use when you install the software. Had he legitimately paid for the expansion pack he would have his own CD key and wouldn't need to ask for one. Giving out serialz is pirating.

No.

Youll learn.

You are useless. If I'm legitimately wrong you should explain why.

Whether or not you think piracy is acceptable or not is irrelevant, but asking for and using someone else's CD key is for the purposes of piracy.

I stand by my original statement. If he purchased the expansion pack legitimately he would not need to ask for a CD key. If he purchased legitimately and lost it or had some other issue Blizzard would issue a new cd key.

Giving isnt piracy.

Right now, the term piracy is to loose that everyone wants to use a description for one thing someone one does, but when someone does the same with something else, it doesnt count.

According to your use right now. I go buy a game, install it play it, love, tell my friends about it. Now im done with the game, but my friends want to play it. If they come here and play it and beat it using my code, is that piracy? If I just give them the cd to barrow or have, is that piracy? No.

Would there be a difference if Sock and Shay where neighbors or if they were talking over msn? Nope.

Now, for fun, lets use your logic here. My friends barrow or have my cds/games. They are pirating my games now! I go to the store, buy and give an apple to my friend. No! He just stole from a store! I buy a dvd and a friend watches it with me. He just pirated that movie! Haha, sounds ridiculous. Just as ridiculous as two guys trading back and forth games.

It may go against companies rules and policy, which it hardly does, but its not piracy.

Now go learn in detail what piracy does and does not consist of and then you can stop using piracy as a blanket statement to cover topics. But I doubt thats going to happen, so I guess youre as useless as I am. But to make yourself feel better, call whoever it is you call, even Blizzard, and tell them I gave my CD key to friend who is currently doing uber-runs right now. Though I warn you, nothing will happen.

Giving something that you have no permission to give is piracy.

He's not giving him the CD Shay says he already has it but needs a CD Key, where did he get it without a CD key? If someone had given him the game he'd have the legit CD and legit CD key. If he has a legit CD he can get a CD key directly from Blizzard. Giving someone else your CD key to use whether you're doing so willingly or not is a violation of your user agreement and does constitute piracy.

If you want to justify piracy by calling it borrowing you can do that in your own mind you can decide whether you consider it immoral and act as you please but that doesn't mean it's not piracy.

Yes, Blizzard probably wouldn't prosecute or anything, but they would say it violates their terms of use, and say that it's piracy.

I'm sending Blizzard an email to ask for their opinion on this issue, we'll see what they have to say on the issue.

Say someone offers me a copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine to view. Or copy. And the movie hasn't even been in theaters yet. You're saying if the price is zero it's not piracy? I'm assuming when someone gives their game CD to someone else, they've still got it installed on their machine? I'm pretty sure that violates the license.

I'm not saying I'm a fan of this. I want to run my Adobe CS software on my laptop occasionally, but Adobe is really a pain about their licenses. Activate this, deactivate that; make a mistake and you can't use it at all, and you have to call Adobe for them to "help you out..." Blah.

We arent talking about something that isnt out yet (that reminds I need to look up diablo 3 news soon. Looks good, nothing special, but good.) but something that has already been out for a long time. This isnt "Hey, anyone get that leaked copy? Can I have it?"

What you described above I cant argue with, but, even if I wanted to it would be dumb, cause its a different topic than what has happened in this thread.

Where did he get the cd without a key? Who knows. I have a few games that I dont have the key for anymore. I remember when I ordered FEAR it didnt have a key, but luckily they give those out for free online.

I agree that it will be against the user agreement from the game but I will not call it piracy directly. If anything I call it softlifting. And at a very low level between two people.

The same thing that I know we have all done with friends and family. With software, media, and almost everything we use.

Shay, there are a few programs that will show you the key of your cd. You should give that a try.

[ThisGuyIKnow]

If you have a legit CD Blizzard will give you a new CD key check there website.

I hadn't heard the term softlifting before but when I googled it most definitions included the word piracy
