You might try sending in a help ticket to the maker of the game they'll sometimes send you a new disk @ a greatly reduced price providing you can prove you own it, usually a pic of you holding the cd key or maybe a scan of receipt or something along those lines. If that doesn't work out, maybe ask your parent to check on craigslist for your area, you might get lucky & someone will be wanting to sell their copy

Darn, I was hoping they'd be able to help you.
Would this not mean that you no longer have any right to use the software?
I think so.

I wouldn't think so because when you purchase software you're purchasing license to use the software as long as you desire or until the term you pay for expires. For steam games this is more obvious in that you don't require & if you buy the games through steam you don't receive a cd/dvd for the installation of the game, only the key that is applied to the account to authorize use of the program.
In my opinion so long as he hold a valid license to use the software it shouldn't matter where or how he obtains the media as he has already paid for the right to use it. However if he had sold it to someone instead of loosing it I would agree with you that he wouldn't have the rights anymore.
Right, he didn't lose it, it was given away by his parents. Therefore, it has transferred to a new owner.

From his initial post it seemed as though the disk was still inside the drive of a broken computer when it was disposed of & was not intentionally given with the machine, which is why I identified it as lost.
Note: we've kinda derailed the thread & for that I apologize to 5star & unless I have any helpful suggestions I'll be keeping the rest of my opinions to myself so that he doesn't have to read through pages of my bs as I tend to ramble, heh

I don't have any ideas myself on if THQ offers replacement disks if you still own a valid key.
But for now, case law on EULA's - those things that everyone just clicks through - is kinda unsettled. But supposedly, whatever the EULA says about physical possession of the CD stands. Not the OP's intent....
PS: I just got the game myself (love RTS games!). Hit me up if you get your disk back and want a game...

Do you have any friends that own the game?? if so ask them if you can borrow just the cd so you can install the game using your cd key.

Thinking out loud...is there any way to get the game digitally if you can produce the CD key?
You'd think if you registered your copy so the company knows that the CD key you have is yours you could get it again...but then again I don't doubt people would attempt piracy stuff that way...might be worth a shot to check it out though.
Do your parents know who they gave the computer away to? You'd think a simple phone call might also take care of this.
Hope you get it all figured out.

I take it they can't call and say they left a CD in the computer they returned?
With the records you would hope they kept it shouldn't be too hard to retrieve it unless someone snagged the CD...but then with no key it would be a waste of time.

well it was like 2 years ago...
Are you telling me that you are trying to get a CD your parents gave away 2 years ago? Seriously, use your head on this one 5star.
That CD is long gone.
