• Legality of Piracy

If you live in good old Canada where their copy-right laws don't even know what a computer is than you are fine. (p.s. It is perfectly legal to download software/music in Canada, but not to distribute, so if you can find a way to torrent without uploading you are in the clear.)
[QUOTE=PD-Stalker;22187805]Just get it. People around here have a stick up their asses about piracy regardless of the situation. You already bought the game, you're fine. But using that EA activation thing that someone posted previously would be the better course of action. VAC likes to shit on anything that even looks modified.[/QUOTE] It's not that we have a stick up our ass, it is that he asked whether it was legal to pirate things, and it is not. Simple as that. Also do you seriously think that a Battlefield game, a game series that has used PunkBuster since it started using anti-cheat systems back in BF42, a game developed by DICE, and published by EA, uses [i]valve's[/i] anti cheat system? [QUOTE=Luxinus;22187118]It's legal because you already own it. Thus you are technically aloud to download and play the game as you have already bought it.[/QUOTE] Just because something makes sense to be legal doesn't mean that it is. Also, I believe the word you were looking for is "allowed."
You have bought a license to play the game, therefore it is the burden of EA to allow you to play it. It is legal. Piracy, however, is the wrong word for it.
It isn't legal unless get a copy that has a keygen/crack included and you are uploading it to peers
