However, she won't let me unless it's legal. The game would be stored somewhere on the network on one CD key, and all computers on the network (so basically the whole school) would be able to run the game from this network, and we would play on LAN. Is this legal? Fun Fact: The teacher is Korean... But she sucks at StarCraft D:  | ||

If you do, say something along the lines of "Since the original is a legitimate copy, its alright." | ||

The Install Spawn thing applied only to the original SC, not Brood War. I'm pretty sure it's legal to do it (I don't think they would stop me from installing SC on my computer AND my laptop). Reread the End User License Agreement to make sure. | ||

Get a flash drive with the latest patch, perhaps chaos launcer and all the plugins, and bwchart ftw. Yes it is legal. How do you think PC cafes install all those games to the comps for anyone to use? Also, you don't need to use the old install spawn feature anymore, since the latest patch (or the previous one) allows you now to just copy the .exe file from the disc to run it without the disc (which btw you need to do for every computer). | ||

Is this legal? I'm pretty sure it is. Bw is no cd these days. You could dl it onto each of the computers if you wanted. If they allow no CD then they remove the only obstacle for a person using 1 disc for his lan. I'd take that as implicit permission. | ||

True story and tested me and my pals did it in my compsci class although it did take a bit or work to get a lan working on the network. Alot of jokes of how the network is set up like big brother is always watching were made in the process. | ||

Do you know how LAN centers work beyond 1 game for X computers? They essentially get special permission from the company (in this case Blizzard) to do what they do. Short answer, no it's not legal. Long answer, no it's not legal, but nobody will give a damn since it's over LAN. | ||
