I know downloading games is illegal, but if you already own the content you are downloading, just in a different format, is it still illegal?
What are your opinions on this ethically? In my opinion I believe it be fine, as you have already purchased a copy of the game, you just require it in a different format/media.
Surly when I bought the game, I bought a license to use the content, and the content is the same no matter what format it’s for, or media it’s stored on.
The reason I ask is, my TV recently broke and my PC is bran new (custom built: high specification), being a student I rarely watch TV and could easily live without one. I only use the TV for the Xbox. I watch DVDs/Listen to Music/Play PC Games on my PC; I don’t think it would be appropriate to shell out quite a bit of money for a new TV.
