Has the OP given us the impression that he is within the laws of his country, whatever that may be, or just that he didn't know them?
I think some people are still confused about this, so I'll explain it (again). We're not searching for reasons to ban. Asking too many questions, like, "where did you get the game", is none of your business. Not knowing how to dump a game is not an admission of guilt. If you mention downloading, you get banned. If you don't mention it, nothing happens. We then all assume you own the game. That's the way I personally handle these situations and forum users should as well.
Ok, so then we need to tell the OP that he hasn't necessarily downloaded the game illegitimately, and that he needs to use cleanrip or rawdump and the original disk to get the game again.
That generous and non-guilt-enforcing enough, or do the BB tags need to go?

Okay, i'll keep this in mind.
