Can you download BF2 files?

[Rapid12]

Hi, I'm aware that piracy discussions are forbidden here, but that's not really my query. Let me explain.

I own three legitimate BF2 accounts. I'm introducing my brother to PR, and I'll be giving him one of the three accounts.

I could post the disc to him, but it'd be quicker if he could simply legally download the files and log in with the legitimate account I provided.

So, is the above intentions a form of piracy? If no, can any advise where my brother could download the files from?

Also, on my system, which is Windows7, I don't need a disc in for some reason, would the same apply to his W7 system?


Thanks in advance.

Developers/Publishers love to claim that your purchase is of the license to use the game, not the game itself. So since you have the serial (legitimate) to install with, I'd say the installation media's medium is irrelevant.

If you can't find a good place, PM me and I'll see what I can dig up.

If you can tell us which media you bought the three license keys, we can give you a better answer.
