ok, now that i have you attention:

if i buy a valid cdkey from someone, would i be able to download the game and use the valid key. would that be legal? (isnt the cdkey the license?)

the reason he is selling only the cd key is that his cd broke in half so i cant buy the whole thing off of him.

No the cdkey isnt the license.

But as long as HE NEVER uses the key again I think you are in the clear. The idea of the cdkey is to ensure that only registered players are able to play online If he sells you his cdkey and then trys to play, you will not be recognized as legitimate and will be unable to play or will be kicked when he tries to play.

when you buy that cd-key from him, you should also ask for the broken cd. this should provide some measure of safety if there is some later question about ownership.

in addition, even better would be a signed letter from him stating change of ownership via sale...

im not sure yet, but if you find the whole game for dirt cheap let me know (as this may go through for a couple of dollars...)

Downloading warez (even as a replacement) would still be illegal, even for the original owner.

If the game is legit, the manufacturer will probably assist in getting a replacement CD.
