It's so illegal that Blizzard has printed on the friend card things that come with the game that you can lend your copy to your friends so that they can install the game and then they use the limited time card thing so your friend can try out the game.TheNamlessGuy said:
If mods suspend you or ban you for posting about copying the WoW files, that's quite silly. I'm sure if you talked to a Blizzard representitive about this, they wouldn't care either. You don't actually need the discs to play WoW, just the keys to enable the game on your account.
Also, OP, have you just tried googling the problem? That works most of the time. Or how exactly are you trying to copy the files?
People who bought Spore had the same issue with trying to install the game, so, they must be breaking the law! Bastards, that will teach them to buy games. MMORPG's like WoW are quite different to other software, as WoW requires a pay-to-play basis, so you can't pirate the game unless you use private servers. Though, now that I hear you got into trouble for copying WoW files, seems a bit stupid as to why they would care.TheNamlessGuy said:

Wait..... can't you just redownload the trial from Blizzard then use the key you apparently already have to activate it on your netbook?NuclearPenguin said:
Why the hell are you using your netbook to game anyways?
Wait wait wait, I paid for the disc when I could of got them free?
If you bought your game and it screws up there is a law you can have a backed up pirated one i think, but seriously.....
Wait your encouraging people to pirate?Dommyboy said:

I've seen many people reiterate this to you. YOU DON'T NEED THE CDS TO PLAY WOW. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE CLIENT. The reason he would be copying his friend's files is so that he doesn't have to waste time downloading them himself. I've done the same thing with my Guild Wars account when I lost the .dat file once. Rather than spend the time downloading it all over again, I used a friend's.TheNamlessGuy said:
When you buy a disk you pay for the account, not the mass produced bit of plastic. You pay the same amount for an account created online.TheNamlessGuy said:
EDIT: Forgot to actually contribute to the thread
Is the hard drive format one that your operating system can write to? Or maybe you simply don't have access rights on that account, so you need to edit them using an administrator account.

And were you using this 'illegally copied client' on Blizzard's servers with a legally paid for retail key, or were there other shinanegans here you aren't telling us about?
Cause, and this is fact, Blizzard isn't in the business of denying people access to a service they are currently paying for.
That said, on a Netbook, eh? Dag. There's really two options here for you.
1- Download the client from their website, and update it into working order. You won't need any product keys or anything, that's tied into your already activated account. Anyone who says you can't is full of crap. I'm doing it on this computer here. Hell, you can log into your account on anyone else's client. And for anyone says you have to -buy the cds- you could go to best buy and get them for a dollar. Yes. -A DOLLAR.-
2- Get a USB CD-Rom.
And anyone who says 'But you need a retail key' can keep quiet. He already has one. You need it to -have a subscription- in the first place. That's -all- the authentication Blizzard needs or asks you for, and you -never- need to type it in again, anywhere.
its not illegal to copy someone elses game unless your actually going to use it via an illegal means

Oh and guys, I haven't had any crack in weeks, PLEAAASE BRAH GIMME SOME MONEY THIS IS THE LAST TIME I SWEAR CMONNN I NEEEEED THIS.
Blizzard doesn't care a rat's fucking ass about the game itself being passed around. Why? Because that price tag on the box is what you pay for the SERIAL KEY. The discs are inconsequential. You can get the client for free from Blizzard, they really don't give a fuck. Christ you guys are idiots sometimes (read: a lot of times).
