I am very anti-pirate, but if your friend gives you his disks when he is done with the game, that is PERFECTLY LEGAL. If you are playing the game with original disks, you are not a pirate. In fact, if you pass those disks on twenty times, it is still not illegal as long as you do not copy the disks and distribute them. Read the copyright agreements. I have a problem with services like napster which allow people to DL copyright material en mass, thus having the potential to erode profit bases that could potentially affect the future quality and logistics involved with future intellectual property.
