Thank you torrents! 
I just downloaded a Starcraft ISO. Why would I come shout out my nefarious deeds?
Because I legally purchased the game....twice. Fact I still have the CD case for one of the games but I do have 2 valid serial numbers.
My problem was the kids scratched the CD and it was unusable. I was SOL. It was either buy the game *again* or turn to
pirating" to get a copy of the game, install it and use one of my 2 valid serial numbers.
So my question to ATOT is two fold.
First, do you think game designers should allow replacements of damaged CD's is the end user has a valid, registered serial? And two, do you think its illegal to download something, in this case Starcraft, if the owner has a valid serial for the game but the game disc has been damaged?
For me, its always been a major point of anger that my CD's are just as protected as the serial for the game. Personally, I would almost be just as happy if I bought the serial number or other activation type key and could download a copy of the game at will from a server.
