ok so say I bought an original Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast. But then in an accident, I accidentally lost the disc forever. Will it be legal to re-torrent that game back?
There is a legal grey with Torrents and ROMs that if you own the game you can download the ROM or Torrent the game as a back up copy in case your game gets damaged. However, as for torrenting for a lost game, I'm not so sure.
okay, you download ROMS, which is just about the same legality, so who gives a shit.....just do it....
even if you find your lost disc it would not be legal to torrent it. However, it would be legal to put the disc in a CD burner and make a copy of it, providing the copy is for your own personal use only.
If it is illegal material. But if you torrent something like ArchLinux (or other kinds of Linux/Unix), then that is completely legal since it's free for everyone.
