[QUOTE="bob1, post: 2589934, member: 207591"] I went to a thrift store and I purchased the game Farcry 2 for PC for $5. It was only the game CD so when I came home and installed it, it prompted me for a serial ID or code thing which I did not have because it was only the CD. It did not come with the original box. So I was wondering if it would be considered illegal if I downloaded like a "torrent" or something like that of this game because I spent good money for something I cannot play. I have never pirated or torrented anything in my life before so I don't know if downloading something you own but cannot use is illegal. I DO know pirating is illegal itself but I want to know if it is still illegal if you bought the game already. Thank you for your help. [/QUOTE]
